Introductions

[Andrew Pass]

Please introduce yourself. Let us know a little bit about you and where you are from.

[Frida Leman]

I teach kindergarten in Indonesia. I start learning this technology and try to apply it in my class.

[jose luis hernandez b.]

Hi I'm Jose Luis.
I'm from Mexico.
I've been teaching since 1985.
Sometimes I'm required to teach content classes.
I don't mind if I have time to prepare, I'd like to know more about it.

[Alessandro Allegri]

I teach 14-to-17 years old student maths and physics in a mountain area in Northern Italy. Integrating maths and physics with computers is quite natural. Integrating them with the Web is quite another thing... I'm curious, I love learning as much as I love teaching, so... let's see!

[Alessandro Allegri]

Thanks! Nice to hear that you had a good time over here. I've never been in the US, although I would like to some time. We have Easter vacations coming, one week, but this year for me they will bring only some rest at home.

[Talia Carbis]

I'm Talia. I create eLearning for electrical apprentices.

I am really interested in networking with people who use eLearning in TAFE or Vocational settings, as opposed to primary or secondary school.

I am currently studying a Bachelor of Learning Management (Primary). I graduate at the end of the year (fingers crossed)!

[Linda Mercer]

I am a librarian from St. Louis. I manage a group of 4 other librarians for an independent school of roughly 600 7th through 12th graders. We find that though many teachers are interested in some of the new ways to teach their classes, they are quite busy; finding the time to learn and integrate some of these new techniques and skills is hard to come by. We are trying to teach mini-classes during the week before school starts, on early-realease Fridays, during lunch periods when some faculty may be free, and before school on late-start days. I will be interested to follow, contribute and start some discussions on the best way to use 2.0 tools as well as (hopefully) discuss when these tools have not worked well.

[Maxim Wen]

Hello, I am an instructional writer for a Mumbai-based eLearning company. I'm currently part of a team that is working on a project that studies the impact of social networking on education. We hope to be able to apply this knowledge to design more effective eLearning 2.0 courses.

[jose luis hernandez b.]

Thank you for responding .
Is your project worldwide?
Would you explain a little more about that knowledge in the effective learning?
How could I help to design a more effective learning 2.0 course?
Thank you.
