Our goal for this wiki is to save time! When you think about all of the assessments, curriculum-based documents and of course instructional planning we as teachers need to do, we can't even begin to think about finding valuable resources on the internet. We have designed this wiki to make it easy for us to quickly access all of these wonderful resources. Fantastic websites, blogs, wikis, and podcasts are all around us. We have found these resources and plan to utilize this site to seek better aids to our current curriculum. We hope you find it as useful as we do!- Kourtney

Hello, I am a third grade teacher in New Jersey close to Princeton University. I teach all subjects and am doing my best to integrate technology with the resources provided. I am in Eastern Standard Time zone and my email is kourtney.mcmenamin@waldenu.edu. Here is a bit about me- I enjoy spending time with my family and friends as well as being outdoors especially in the summer sun! I do my best as a teacher to allow all students opportunities for success within the classroom. I differentiate instruction and am currently trying to increase my role as an educator through an increased awareness of technology. I am looking forward to this wiki to learn a bit about some blogs and sharing information. -Kourtney

Greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada! My name is Heather Davis and I am a high school fine arts teacher, specializing in music and drama. I love teaching these two courses because the students that come to me are typically motivated, keen, and generally well rounded students. They keep me busy and that is fine by me. In my other life, I am a mom of 3 children. I am so pleased to be working with such fine colleagues in this project. Hopefully, the contributions we make here will be a future resource for all of us in years to come. -Heather

Good days from California, Confusion still in my head about Wiki pages. Where is the oopps button? Where is the driver's manuel for this? I am a 6th grade multiple subject teacher in California. I have been teaching for 11 years. I decided to work on obtaining a Master's degree in Education specializing in integrating technology into the classrooms to help me stay ahead of the technology wave that will sweep into our schools during the next decade. It's a whole new world. I have two young children (4&6) and coach my son's basketball team. I enjoy staying busy, but I also like my cruises. -Suzanna

Aloha from Missouri, I'm a 6th grade CA and Math teacher. I teach in a very rural, but technically advanced school district. With that being said, I'm still learning how to use a lot of the technology they have available for use to use in instruction; hence the reason I'm taking this course. Kuuipo

Hello I am Sandra Hall from Atlanta Georgia. I have two teenage daughters. One is in college and the other is a senior both of which stay at home. I have been teaching kindergarten for 14 years. I am taking this masters course because I have been lucky enough to receive a smartboard in my classroom and my technology skills are very limited. I am hoping to gain a lot of knowledge on incorperating technology in my classroom. Right now I am so lost and confused. It has taken me over an hour to figure out how to add a post to this page. I did not know I had to go to the bottom of the page. This is also my third draft. I do not know where the other posts went. Sandra
