Who Are We?
Kim T. -
Computer studies teacher in Derry, NH for 6-8 graders.
An almost graduate with my M.Ed. with a concentration in technology education.
I have 3 children and a great husband.
I love to decorate my house, paint walls, walk, read about web 2.0, twitter, and belonging to a great network of web 2.0 teachers with awesome suggestions.
I firmly believe students in school should be able to experience all of the technology available to them without barriers. The children should experience global learning and communicate with others through collaborative projects. We must be educating our students to be the best "cyber citizens" they can be.Please click here to get to my blog

Grad Student in Computer Technology Education - Job Seeker
I have 2 children ages 15 and 11, boy am I being challenged :) I quess my husband of 17 years is pretty cool. I've kept him this long! I think I forgot what I enjoy, between working and my studies, Oh, yes, I love to teach. That is if three years as a substitute counts. Talk about flying by the seat of your pants, and I enjoy every minute of it. I think technology rocks. Especially with all the new toy's web 2.0 affords us. I believe in collectivism and shared learning experiences. I think student collaboration is an essential to a students develpment, espcially in middle school. I thank web 2.0 for breaking down the walls and allow us free access to incredible tools that help to enhance our experiecnes as educators and in turn enhance the eductional experience of our students.

I'm taking an online course entitled "Teaching in Networked Classroom" I'm hoping I can collaborate with others to see what they do in their classrooms. So far we've learned a lot, read a lot without a lot of time in between.
I graduated with a B.S. in Education and taught regular Ed in grades 2, 3, and 6th in a couple districts (with a move in between). I left and worked as a Training Manager for 15 years and a Project Manager for network engineers for a few more before returning to teaching as a Computer Technology Teacher. What I realize is the more I learn, the more I want to learn more.Come join my blog! and listen to a podcast on "Pod-casting & Poetry"
