I'm Veronica, I live in deep South Texas. I was a teacher for over 25 years, and now substitute in my hometown. I've been unable to find a permanent position, so I decided to use some of my retirement pension and began my graduate studies. I am taking two online courses in Educational Technology, something that has always interested me. It combines my love for teaching with my fascination with technology. I'm not very tech-savvy, but I'm willing to work at improving my tech skills. I hope to parlay my new skills into a new job somewhere. I saw a link to this site, checked it out, and love all the information that's provided here. Looking forward to reading more and interacting more with fellow teachers!!

I was a teacher for years, but was taken out by failed back surgery that also partially blinded me. Desperate to teach again, but stuck at home, I finally invented a way to teach online. I now teach struggling readers on Skype, and love it just as much as I did in the classroom.

I'm thrilled to know that teaching can be a part of my life for as long as I live—while I've still got my wits. ;)

Hi I'm chief of things at MaxClass - a new social network / communication platform for schools (and parents). It's our dream that communication in and around school (at home!) will become much better.

We spent about a year developing MaxClass and now are seeing schools or individual classes join, which is really great. It's free for most uses, so I would love to see some of you try it out and especially give me feedback on MaxClass in your context.

If you think you can help us spread the word in your state or country, please let me know. But give it a spin first!
