Hello everyone. Tabitha Long, Instructional Technology Coordinator in Lebanon, VA. That's in the very southwest most corner of the state near the TN line. If you know where Bristol Motor Speedway is located, Russell County is about 40 miles north. Great to be here!
Hello,
My name is Tara Bowers and I work as a para-professional with Sped in a public school in South Dakota. I am currently taking online courses to receive my BS in Special Education. I have 4 boys ranging from 8-18 yrs and am a very busy mom.
Part of my studies is to get some input from Sped educators in order to achieve my goals and possibly learn some new things. So if there is anyone out there who would be interested in helping me out I would greatly appreciate it! :-)
Hi everyone, I'm a IT-coördinator at a secondary school in Belgium. I'm envolved in international projects with other European countries (Comenius, eTwinning and some projects from European Schoolnet like Melt and Calibrate). A lot of knowledge and experience I can find here on this website. My website (http://www.letslearntogether.eu) could use some visitors. Hope to hear from you soon. Robert
Hi,
I'm a high schoool graphic design and animation teacher in Northwest Pennsylvania. I belong to a few other nings, my favorite being Art Ed 2.0 started by Craig Roland. I hope to learn more and contribute to the forum/discussions.
wow sounds like a pretty sophisticated school
Hello all. I am Greg Schwanke and this next year will be my 3rd year in the teaching profession. I teach in Omaha, Nebraska and I am switching content areas. I began teaching 7th grade English and this year I will be teaching 6th and 7th computer appications and 8th grade web development, graphic design, and desktop publishing. As you can see I am going to have my hands full. I am also currently getting my masters in instructional technology. With that degree I either want to continue teaching, help with the implementation of technology in schools, or become a technology consultant for schools and/or businesses.

I am looking to collaborate with all of you and hopefully swap ideas, tricks, and discussions.
Hello, Gerry Wartenberg, high school teacher in Arkansas.
Hello everyone! I'm Mariah, from Texas, and just finished my fourth year of teaching and my fourth year of teaching first grade! In the fall I will be the technology teacher on my campus and will be teaching K-4 in the lab (among many other responsibilities)! This week I attended a Web 2.0/Cloudware training provided by my district and am hooked! Oh, I'm also starting my master's program in 2 weeks. Talk about staying busy over the summer!
Hello!
My name is Mary Kuterbach and I teach general music K-8 at a Catholic school in Dallas, Texas. I have been teaching for 27 years with experience in both public and private systems. I am certified instrumental and vocal but have been in a general music setting since moving to Texas from Pennsylvania. I love technology and the vast amount of resources available. I am working on my Masters degree in Instructional Media from Wilkes University online (isn't that appropriate?).

My motivation for my degree is to help teach other teachers how to integrate technology in their own classrooms. I believe that there are simple, user friendly ways to get educators who are hesitant to take those first steps to bring the world closer to their students and take their students to the world.
What does general music include...classes like music and society, history of rock music? Technology can also be used to integrate music in the content areas.
Johnathan- yes and yes and yes. All of those things can be included in what might be called general music. Depending on the curriculum and grade level of the students I can pretty much study the elements of music any way I want to. I have the luxury of a flexible curriculum.
Hi Mary,

I am teaching a course this summer called science and technology. It seems to me that many higher institutions have been slow in their pedagogy to support this kind of instructional approach. I have this opportunity this summer to begin to fill the gap. I already begun to use resources provided by this group to support and plan my strategies.
I think that you will find the same opportunities.
Good Luck,
MJ
