Hi all,

I'm Austin Ball from Austin, TX (and yes, I've heard 'em all) and I'm mostly interested in learning about tutoring individuals/groups over the internet. Guess I'm in the right place! Aiming to teach elementary school in Texas after I graduate this semester.

Hi! I'm an English teacher at a Career & Technical Center in a small suburb of Buffalo, NY. I've been teaching for 13 years and am now working toward an Educational Leadership degree. I'm thinking I'll go into administration, but I'm really interested in all the web 2.0 possibilities for education right now.

Hi Jennifer,

Technology is awesome really and has opened so many serious ways of teaching kids and advancing in ways you could only dream of years ago./ We have been implementing a large project called Globaldreamers where we encourage global collaboration through our website. http://www.globaldreamers.org

It is a great way to advance kids and motivate them in so many ways!

I'm a professor and author in Tampa, FL interested in how school leaders use social media in their leadership roles...especially how they invite SM into their schools safely.

Hi. I'm a 4th grade teacher in Massachusetts. Before I became a teacher, I worked in the computer industry for 15+ years. I'm having fun using technology with my students and with every project I learn something unexpected and new!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Kelly and I am a 4th Grade Elementary teacher in Hellertown, Pennsylvania. I joined this ning as part of an assignment in my Graduate class where I am pursuing a Masters Degree in Instructional Technology with Classroom Applications. I've just started to really use technology in my classroom and I'm really excited to incorporate more! I'm looking forward to reading all of the tech ideas for the classroom.

Any suggestions on where to start????
