WELCOME!

Welcome to Classroom20.com, the social network for those interested in Web 2.0 and collaborative or transformative technologies in education.

We especially hope that those who are "beginners" will find this a supportive community and a comfortable place to start being part of the digital dialog. If you are new here, please consider introducing yourself by going to the introductory forum message. You should also feel free to explore! Here are some starting tips, here's our "Tour of Web 2.0" webcast video, or you can ask help of a "host" below.

If you are representing a commercial entity, please see the specific guidelines on your participation.

(Note: If you can see this site from school but have any difficulty actually signing up from that school location, it may be a filtering issue related to the sign-up security pages. You may have to sign up from home or outside of the school network. So sorry!)

CR 2.0 "hosts" are here to help with any questions you might have about the network. Please feel free to contact them directly from their linked profile pages:
