Hi folks!

I'm Ashley Garner and I teach 6th grade math at an all boys K-6 independent school in Memphis, TN. My tech coach turned me on to this site and it looks like a great place so far. I'm very interested in collaborating with any other middle school math teachers here in the US and especially abroad. Our school embraces global perspectives and I'm so excited to see so many international members!

Hi - I'm brand new to Classroom 2.0. I teach 6th grade English (grammar, writing, vocabulary) at an all boys school in Memphis, TN. I'm interested in learning about ways to incorporate technology in the English classroom and also concrete methods and tips for teaching grammar through writing. I'm glad to have found this highly recommended site!

Hi There! Doesn't your head just spin with all of the info and tools out there?! This seems like a great place to learn, share, and network! My name is Patrick Uselding and I teach 7th and 8th grade social studies & I'm the curriculum coordinator for a catholic school in West Bend, WI. I work at the same school as another new member, Lynn Judnic - we enjoy wreaking technology havoc on our students and staff...ok, maybe havoc isn't the best term! But we do love technology and all of the possibilities it has to offer us in our quest to best prepare and educate our students.

Selamat pagi, hola, hello,
This is my first attempt to send a message in Classroom. What's next? I'm interested in bahasa Indonesia and in teaching Spanish at the college level.
