HI everyone,
I am a graduate student in the library and information science - school media master's program at Syracuse University, and this is my first ning! I joined as a means of discovering ways I can integrate Web 2.0 technologies into my future library instruction. I'm doing some student teaching this semester in Lake Placid, NY (I'm a distance student, so I live about 4 hours from Syracuse in the northern Adirondacks) and hoping to come up with some collaborative projects. Thanks to everyone for posting all this good stuff!

Ki Ora
I teach at an Intermediate School in Napier, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. I am currently Deputy Principal at our school. I split my time between admin duties and taking specialist I.C.T classes for our Y7 & 8 students (10-13year olds). I haven't done a lot with I.C.T for the past five years (no P.D what so ever) and have very little idea what Web 2.0 is about but am on a journey of enlightenment. Any advice or tips for a complete Web 2.0 novice that any of you can share with me would be appreciated.

Hey everyone I am new to this site. I was informed about this site through one of my graduate course I am taking at PACE University in NY. I will hopefully be a certified Ed Tech teacher soon. I look forward to hearing and collaborating with everyone.

Hello everyone,

My name is Brian Carmichael. I am teaching a grade 6 class of 27 great students. I am interested in finding out all I can about technology that can help me (and others) in the classroom. I am really excited this year because I am at a new school that is completely state of the art (Smartboard, 10 computers in the room, great software, etc...). It appears that I am the go to guy for the school website and info tech. I am looking forward to networking with other teaching professionals.
Let's go!
