Yay more educational technology! I stumbled onto this site on a trackback from my own (someone here linked to me, woo hoo!) and can't wait to get involved. I attended a conference on Web 2.0 in the classroom back in April and that really fired me up to do more than just blogging!
I'm Kevin (AKA: Mr. Roughton) from Southern California and I teach 7th grade world history but I drown it in tech. Now, I hope to drown it in interactive tech!

Kia Ora everyone,
Heath from New Zealand, teaching in a year 7/8 classroom. I've been implementing a few technologies into my classroom programme this year. As it is all about collaboration I thought I'd better start practicing what I teach. So here I am.

My name is Cathy Laguna and I teach Science to 8th graders in Pennsylvania. I have spent about 2 years now learning some web 2.0 tools and am most comfortable with wikis, pageflakes, and voicethread. They have really transformed my classes and been very worthwhile investments in my opinion. I'm hoping to learn to get my classes connected in ways that help open the doors for students who are typically unmotivated in school so that they will be inspired to pursue their own educational interests.

Hello everyone!
My name is Eli Gideon Steier. I am grateful for my life and I really enjoy it!
I am originally from Queens, but now reside on Long Island. I am a former professional actor who cares deeply about education.
I have a lot of varied interests which include, but are not limited to: biking, reading, writing, fishing, farming, languages, exploring, sustainability, construction, playing frisbee, the outdoors, learning about anything and everything!
I have found that every individual brings a unique perspective to the world and I look forward to learning from the various people on Classroom 2.0 .
I am also a passionate, young, certified English teacher currently looking for a teaching position on. Long Island. For those that are in charge of hiring on Long Island, I can assure you that it will be difficult to find a teacher who will work as hard for the students as I will.

Hi everyone,
My name is Neal Grigsby and I am recently graduated from MIT's Comparative Media Studies program where I worked on the New Media Literacies Project under Dr. Henry Jenkins. There I created educational materials around media production, including blogging, video games, and Wikipedia. I've recently been trying to apply what I learned to a Web 2.0 project called Tikatok.com. It is a website that allows younger children to create and share their own picture books. We give them various tools to collaborate, connect with and learn from their peers, and circulate their books.
The team just yesterday released an update to the site that enables teachers to register their classrooms very easily, and track student work through a teacher dashboard. Thought it might be of interest to the folks here, and am eager to hear your perspectives on it. It's a little rough around the edges at the moment, and I really want to make it a useful tool for teachers! So please tell me what you think!
Thank you,
Neal
