The only thing I know about classblogmeister is it is slow. Check the epals "help" section.

Hi Everyone! My name is Diana. I am currently a graduate student at C.W Post. As part of my final year assignment I have decided to start a global connections project. So, I just started a ning network:
I am looking to spread the word about my network and get some suggestions about how to collaborate with other teachers. Any ideas? I have a third grade special education class in New York. I'd love to find some international partners to join in some activities with my class.
Thanks,
DIANA

FYI, your kids have to be 13 to use ning. That aside, why don't you check out epals.com. Their thing is collaborative projects.

Hi! I am Amy Hess, a 5th grade teacher recently (in the past week!) turned tech coach for my district for (K-8) teachers. I should now have the time to explore all of the web tools I have dreamed of and share those with teachers in my district. I am looking forward to networking with others who have more experience and those others who are starting out in this capacity. I am in Elizabethtown, PA.

Hi everyone! Jessica Nikula, high school English and social studies teacher from Parksville, BC, Canada, here. I would love to collaborate with other English and social studies teachers. Through a Univeristy of Alberta course that I am taking, I have been learning about many of the great "new" Web 2.0 tools available. I would love to hear about how other educators are incorporating these into their teaching. I am looking forward to the dialogue that takes place here.

I am Maureen Schoenberger. A teacher in Medford NJ. I teach k-5 computers and teach 4th and 5th Grade Gifted and Talented. I also am the webmaster for our school. I have been teaching for 9 years now (only 6 in tech) and LOVE IT! I couldn't imagine doing anything else! I am also the mother of two little cuties! So my life is pretty hectic and crazy like many of you and love NING. it is the only network site I check reguarly. Sorry, not a twitter bug! I like NING better because everything is in one spot. I don't have time to be checking anything else. Love all of the great resources and forum questions. Looking forward to participating:)

Hi everyone, Christine Robinson here. I'm a middle years teacher from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and I'm exploring this site for an assignment in one of my master's courses. I am currently enrolled at The U of Alberta and am taking master's courses online, and one of my classes is all about Web 2.0 tools. It's very interesting and I am learning a lot. Looking forward to learning more.
Christine :)

Hi All! My name is Renny, from New York City. I just attended a webinar with Will Richardson and Edutopia this evening, and he mentioned this site. He talked about how this is an awesome way of getting started in becoming part of a community of educators.
I taught Kindergarten for 4 years, Fourth Grade for 3 years, Fifth Grade for 2 years, and now this is my 3rd year teaching Computers/Technology. My goal is to try to get all of our teachers on board with integrating technology into their teaching.
There's definitely a big investment in time in terms of building or tweaking lessons to incorporate technology, but I think it's an investment that can reap huge rewards in our students' learning.
I'm interested to know how teachers are making the shift in teaching with technology, especially in the elementary schools. So much time is invested into preparing for standardized assessments, leaving so little time for project-based learning... :(
Oooops... I think I overextended my intro. just a bit... Thanks for listening! ;)
