About Me
I have a background in educational and documentary film making and I want to use this to build community amongst children everywhere in the world. I am very interested in the plight of children in northern Africa in places like Darfur, Eritrea, Chad, and Somalia, and I support the efforts of Oxfam, CARE, and WorldVision to address this.
I'd love to explore collaborating with all Classroom 2.0 members!

    Pendera,
    This is a new experience for me. I am a teacher (high school and middle school math) for the past 20 years. I am currently a student at University of Illinois.

    Hi, Pendera. I am in the heartland of the United States, Iowa! I work with many school districts, helping teachers learn to use technology with their students and working alongside them as their students work on technology projects. Video is the way our students today want to communicate - and they want to communicate about what's relevant in the world today - like you are getting the word out about northern Africa. Perhaps you can post some of your videos here on Classroom 2.0 and we can do the same - many of my districts block YouTube so kids can't post there. TeacherTube seems to be a good alternative too. Look forward to collaborating with you.

    So pleased to meet you, Pendera! I am in California, and have been posting video & audio podcasts teaching about musicology, music theory, and music history. (All free teaching resources for any 2.0 music educators out there.)

    Are you familiar with Global Giving? We've been doing a lot of work with them as well, and they are on a similar path as Oxfam in embracing technology to make substantive, profound change.

    Hi Pendera,
    I teach 3rd grade in Los Angeles and love to introduce the children to iMovies and PowerPoints. Mathew is nudging me to learn more about communicating with real technology people. :) Best wishes! Stephanie
