- Hi
I blog at Classroom Displays and my learning journal blog is Acting to Improve.
Until recently I worked in a Primary (elementary) school in the UK as a research/teaching assistant involved in participatory action research projects across a network of 5 schools. I finished a workplace based 100% online degree in Learning Technology and Research last year and got a First.
I'm interested in developing resources for education staff that will help them to see how web 2.0 can enhance their own practice. I'm convinced that they will be more willing to embrace the technology if they can see its application for themselves.
As part of this I'm working on a wiki (http://usefulwiki.com) where teachers and other school staff can share resources.
- Job Title:
- searching :-)
- Favorite Subject Area:
- Displays, teaching reading, arts and crafts
- What do you want to get out of Teachers 2.0?
- A place to share ideas and enhance my own learning.

With your interest in Web 2.0, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.

If you have time, please take a look at my page at WAT (http://weareteachers.ning.com/profile/mawstools) and join in the conversation I started there about "reinventing public education" if you're interested.
As soon as I have a minute, I'm going to check out your wiki...and I look forward to learning more with and from you.
