After teaching 3rd grade for eight years, I decided to make a switch. Already having my Masters Degree in Educational Computing, I decided to go back to school again and become a Library Media Specialist. I'm currently in my fourth year in this position, the last three at the same elementary school. I'm very interesting in using technology to teach and make learning more fun for the kids. However, in my current position, my time is limited with the students much more than I anticipated. Outside of school, I spend time with my family and I'm very much a sports fanatic. I'm also a Mac guy.
Do you have a Nebraska teacher for your project? We just finished our state project and we put it on a VoiceThread. I like your new twist to the typical state project.
Hi Chad,
We're Midwest neighbors, I'm in Illinois! I'm a district technology integration specialist and work in Northbrook, IL (a northern suburb of Chicago). If you'd like an adult to interview, would love to Skype with one or more of your students. I taught 4th grade for many years and remember well those state research projects.
I may also be able to find a student to be interviewed, but might want the questions in advance to be sure s/he knows the answers (ie. population of IL or whatever 'fact' you might want answered)
I can be reached many ways email: jepcke@gmail.com, twitter: jepcke, or Skype: jepcke. I'm also a member of Classroom 2.0 if you want to leave me a message here.
Good luck with the project; love the idea, and I'll look for you on Twitter!
