Welcome aboard. I was just looking at your website the other day, you had a good list of differentiation ideas. I teach in a gifted pullout program and we use technology all the time and haven't had much trouble with filtering...MySpace Facebook and You Tube are blocked but I've never be stopped from doing anything I want to do by the district. We were setting up our first video conference with a school in New Jersey and wanted to use Skype, one of the tech guys said Skype was blocked but had a quick easy and workable solution with Marratech. All is well. You can see all of the stuff we've done in the last few years here. I noticed your online modules don't include all the latest tools--blogs, wikis, twitter, etc etc! You guys have a lot of work ahead of you!! haha Let me know if you need help with anything.

Hi there! Thanks for offering to help. And to add a new puzzle piece is an excellent idea. The site is so huge that even I have trouble finding things, hence the site map that was created! We do have some web 2.0 resources and there are a lot of tutorials out there that we have linked. Web 2.0 Resources. But they are hidden and need to be more prominent. I'll do that this week! Thanks again for the idea. I may take you up on finding other applications that are used commonly in classrooms today.

Hi, I'm Tricia Fuglestad. I use technology in my elementary art program. I love to make movies "Fugleflicks" to teach art related concepts to my students.
Also, I'm a big advocate for instructional technology. A group of fifth graders just finished working on a video entry into eInstruction's classroom technology makeover contest. Want to see? Click here to view "What a Cheap Trick".
Please login in and write us an encouraging note and rate us:) Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the link to the makeover contest. Yours is great and I will definitely contribute a rating. I teach an educational technology class to pre-service teachers and I will be showing yours and some others in class this week..

My name is Joe D'Amato and I am a Middle School principal at Depew Middle which is located in Western New York, near Buffalo. I am very comfortable with technology as a tool for instruction and productivity. I am also very comfortable with the internet. I am hoping to learn more about the new wave of technology used for collaboration and professional development. I have dabbled with a blog, and a wikispace. I would like to use this sort of technology to enhance my own knowledge base and move my school forward.

Welcome Joe. I have a student will your last name! Welcome to CR2.0. You will hopefully get the information you are looking for. I think there is a CR2.0 discussion group for admin, too. You might find some kindred spirits there.

Hello!
My name is Sarah and I work for an organisation in the UK which works for and with adult learners. I myself work on a staff development training programme which aims to increase the effective use of e-learning to enhance teaching and learning. My pet topic is web 2.0 tools :-)
Would be interested to hear from anyone (anywhere) who has used web 2.0 tools in adult education successfully.

Hi! I am Jodie and I am the Instuctional Technology Coordinator for a rural school district in Northeast Texas. We have about 3000 students (prek-12) and 6 campuses. It is my job to help the teachers develop and use technology to enhance learning.
This is the first year my district has made it a full-time position. For the past 5 years, I have been teaching a full load with one period off for technology support. I am so excited to have the opportunity to do what I love full-time. I finally have time to research all the "stuff" that I have been hearing about. It is so overwhelming. I have found so many new things and tools. I am trying to not overwhelm the teachers, but I want them to see all the new cool stuff. My district is behind when it comes to technology equipment. Most teachers do not have a projector, there are a couple in each library to check out. The libraries also have an elmo and a couple of interactive whiteboards for checkout. We also have 2 video conference setups that are portable.
I guess that is all for now.

Hello Fellow Educators,
My name is Chris Woodside and I teach AVID and Social Studies at Jurupa Middle School in Riverside, CA. My pet projects are:
Using my website mrwoodside.com to create better bonds with students and their parents. By the way, if anyone's interested, I have over 50 activities posted under the "Choose Your Own Assignment" CYOA tab. Feel free to download, edit, and use them to your heart's content.
Merging Game Theory and Education (Which is why my avitar is Woodman from the Megaman video games.) I started a thread if you want to discuss this issue further. I'd love it if someone would critique my ideas.
Using Alternate Reality Gaming to energize students critical thinking skills.
I am so blessed to be part of a community that is so creative and cutting edge. Thank you to everyone here. I hope I can be as valuable to this community as many of you have already been to me.

Hi, I’m from South Africa in Limpopo province. I recently attended an integrated computer technology conference in Cape Town. It was real inspiring. Before the conference I had no clue about all the web 2.0 tools being used in classrooms. The problem however is that most learners in my area do not have access to the internet. Most learners have the popular IM - Mxit. I hope to learn more from others how to use Mxit as a teaching tool
