Hi Najwa. Nice to hear from you. Are you from Turkish generation? Because the surname Chalabi belongs to Turkish. I think your work is very hard. It is interesting for me to learn your idea about using technology in English lesson or in any lessons. ( Are you an English teacher?)

I focus mainly on Integration and Middleware (i.e. work with partners to determine how we can incorporate their tools and technologies into our LMS), however I have strong interests in Privacy and Social Media in Education.

If you have any ideas or thoughts to how we can improve our products to meet your needs, please send them my way and I'll forward them to the proper teams for consideration in future product updates.

Hello, my name is Ibby Rios; I am a middle school Spanish and social studies teacher in Crofton, MD. I've been teaching for about 12 years and in the last couple of years have been more intentional about tech integration in my classroom. I have found this professional learning community very useful and helpful - from the webinars, to the resources shared and discussion presented in the forums.

I have created a group in the community called Passport to the World for social studies. If this is your content area, check it out; it should be a meaningful forum for sharing ideas and resources.

Hello, My name is Juliet Knight and I am currently a SLPA student in the Los Angeles area. Thanks for letting me look around. This is pretty amazing! Social Media is a very real resource for today's teacher. I enjoyed reading how teachers are considering blogging as a means of keeping their kids writing during the holiday breaks. Great idea! I would have loved this as a kid.

I'm Roxanne Clement and I'm a Teacher Librarian at an elementary K-5 (next year K-6) public school in Alameda California. I've been teaching for what seems like forever, am I'm so excited about 21st century learning, technology infused learning, iPads, netbooks, and 1:1 learning, books and libraries, and especially the changing learning environments for today's kids!

I'm finishing up a masters in Library Science and Technology and hope to share how I am working to transform websites and learning activities into two-way interactive and collaborative learning environments available 24/7, anywhere anytime!
