I am a faculty member is the Education Program at Colby College in Maine. I'm preparing to teach a required introductory special education course this semester. So right now I'm interested in the forums that relate to inclusion, assistive technology, and special education in general.
I'm also eager to show my college students that educators have social networking pages.

Welcome. There is an inclusion group here that you may want to join. Recently there was an interesting conversation in the Forum discussing podcasting as a tool with inclusion classes. We look forward to having your perspective in the discussions!

Welcome!

I am anxious to learn the tools you use in your part of the world. I have recently created a learning community site and we are currently collaborating with students in Europe. The Maze hosts content for use by both teachers and students, so feel free to join us and share as well. Educational podcasts are available for use by students and teachers. Currently we have content in Math and World History, as well as US history.

Classroom 2.0 is great as it allows the world to collaborate!

Hi, my name is Colleen. I am taking a class at Eastern Michigan University. As part of my assingment I needed to join a social network and I chose this one. I look forward to learning about this site and how it could help me in the classroom if I do teach some day. Thank you.

I love that you are required to join a social networking site. As students, what do you need to do with the sites you join?

Bonjour. I'm new.

I'm a student teacher who, for the sake of being able to get a job, would like to remain somewhat anonymous. I teach in an inner-city high school, my subjects journalism and social science.

Pleasure to meet you all.

Hello!
I'm Hannah Walker, originally from the US, but currently very much enjoying teaching overseas! I spent the last 2 years in Cyprus and am in Prague this year (and probably for at least a few more). Looking forward to sharing ideas with this diverse community of educators.

Hi, everyone. I've been lurking here for a while, but finally signed up today, inspired by the educon 2.0 conference group - SO wish I'd heard about this sooner - it's exactly what I needed! But being able to participate online after the fact is a close 2nd to having a trip to Philly :-)

I'm our school district's ANGEL Coordinator, developing our K-12 & teacher ANGEL online learning communities. We're doing our district's first-ever completely online in-house course on Engaging Millennial Learners & I know the participants are going to enjoy exploring this site.
