I can not believe I did not know anything about Darim! Thank you for sharing this place. I will check it out!
Also, I did visit you blog and I love what you write in there. I started my blog more than a year ago, but it has taken me a lot of time to give it a personality of it's own. I think of it as a work in process. My thinking process is extremely agile and sometimes I can not even catch up with it, specially when I am thinking in Spanish. So, hopefully I'll get better in blog posting one day.
Pleasure to meet you and let's stick together in this journey~

Hello! My name is Jessica Tipton. I am a 7th grade math teacher in Winder, GA. I have been teaching for five years, and I am certified to teach K-8 all subjects, but my favorite is math. I am our school's professional learning coordinator. I integrate a lot of technology into my classroom instruction (as much as I am technologically capable at least). Plus, I am in the process of writing a number of grants to gain more technology for our school. I am currently taking a Web 2.0 class taught by Caroline O'Bannon, and that is how I became aware of Classroom 2.0.

I am organizing a web collaboration to assemble the first Consumer's Guide to Technology used or proposed for use in educating children on the Autism Spectrum. To be created by the people who use technology with children: parents, teachers, related service providers, clinicians. Created for the same people.
This zagat-style guide will offer an easier, more informative means of comparing DVDs, programs, sites and other technology. We will explore current uses, providing standardized objective measures as well as accurate, anecdotal information such as: Is it useful? Does it work? How well? How would you improve it?
A network of classroom teachers, parents and other caretakers in a testing/reporting network would will demonstrate the power of the Web work for autism and education.

Length of Project: 6 months

Hi - I'm Deb Jones from Brisbane, Queensland in Australia. I'm very intrigued with the Classrom 2.0 Community and since joining, have thoroughly enjoyed the amazing range of topics, discussions, resources, webconferences etc. I'm very interested in digital pedagogy, but specifically along the lines of teacher professional development - my role is to co-ordinate and support professional learning for teachers with digital pedagogy! Looking forward to great collaboration here :)

Ian, it's great to see the crossover from Fireside Learning to this forum. Maybe we can draw some folks back the other way. My own goal is to draw people to the Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference in Chicago, which will be May 28 and 29.
Since most people on this forum cannot get their in person, we need to find ways to share ideas about ways to reach kids in the non-school hours, and via the Internet, who live in high poverty and isolated areas where the don't have access to most of the great ideas being shared. There's not a lot of discussion of volunteering on this site, or of ways to connect youth with business volunteers who might mentor uses of technology, and provide work opportunities where kids can apprentice and learn on the job.
I hope we can stimulate that and show how kids, using web 2.0, can be the leaders who mobilize such resources for their own communities, and for disadvantaged communities.

Hello Everyone! My name is Heather Venable. I currently teach biology and chemistry at a high school in North Carolina . However, I have recently taken a job as the Middle School instructional Technology Specialist in my district. We are in the process of implementing a 1:1 initiative with our 7th grade. This semester I began working with the seventh grade teachers (introducing them to some web2.0 tools and ideas on how to integrate them into their curriculum) after school. It has been challenging for me to keep up with them (around 70 teachers at 4 different schools) and finish out the year in the EOC classroom! Next year I will leave the classroom and begin the instructional technology specialists job full time. I am very excited about the opportunity to be a part of this initiative but also anxious, nervous and scared! I am really concerned about the fact that my teachers are in a thousand different places as far as their technology experience and ability levels. I am looking forward to getting some advice from all you excellent educators out there!

Hello, I am Mary T McCullagh, and I teach AP European History and AP and Honors US Government in Miami, FL.
I love web 2.0. I have had fun sharing these tools with my classes this year. We have had online community-building and cooperation with students and teachers in Israel and Germany. The students have enjoyed getting to know their peers in those settings, especially sharing their lives, ideas and curricular explorations.
