=Welcome to the Wiki Page for Group 2!!= =Course: EDUC-6710I-2: Understanding the Impact of Technology on Education, Work, and Society= = = =WIKI CONTRIBUTORS := I am a 7th grade language arts teacher in the Baltimore, MD area. This is my fourth year teaching at the same school, but I've taught ever section and level of language arts our school offers. Currently, I have three different preps: an honors class, a modified anthology class, and a reading intervention class. The last two I co-teach with a wonderful special educator. I'm really excited to learn how this wiki space works and find out how I can use it in my classroom! I usually am only able to check Walden in the evenings, but I check mostly every night. It will be great working with all of you!

__**Catherine Blackwell **__ I am a K - 5 computer lab enhancement teacher in Reidsville, NC. I primarily taught first and second grade for 14 years. I recieved my AIG certification and have been an advocate for promoting the academic needs of all students. My love for technology landed me this great position four years ago and well as allowed me to see how illiterate many educators are to learning effective methods of technology integration. Although I'm no Phi Beta Kappa in technology, I can credit my college sophomore son and my teenaged Sunday school students for teaching me the majority of that which I have mastered. I'm excitied about all the new technologies that we're learning within this course. However, I am truly overwhelmed. I can best contribute or answer questions after 9 p.m. I often check during school planning time or early evening.

__**David Keniston **__ I am an eighth grade physical education teacher from Renton, Washington. This is my third year teaching, I have been at the same school, teaching the same subject area and grade all three years. Physical education has changed leaps and bounds since I attended school and I am excited to be part of the evolution that is taking place. Parents and students are taking a greater interest in healthy eating and exercise which is encouraging and keeps me motivated. I am usually available on week nights and during the day on weekends. I am on the west coast, so I will do my best to contribute or answer questions earlier in the evenings, but some people on the east coast may not see my work until the next day.

__**<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Laura Mahany **__ <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I am a special education teacher for specific learning disabilities in an elementary school in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This is my second year of teaching, and I am responsible for about 30 students on my caseload (and ever increasing- I added 7 new kids just in the last two weeks). The students range from having simple reading or mathematics struggles to severe emotional and behavior issues. It definitely keeps my day interesting! I work M-F 7-4 Mountain Time, and usually am able to check Walden at random times throughout the day- depending on which students are absent and such, and how much dreaded paperwork I have to do, haha. I try my best to complete work asap, as I tend to check Walden a lot less on the weekends.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I am a third grade math and science teacher from Lancaster, SC. This is my third year teaching but my first year at departmentalized teaching. I can honestly say that I enjoy teaching only two subjects. I am excited about being a apart of this collaborative learning group. I really hope to gain some new ideas and strategies that I can use in my classroom. As far as my schedule, I am mainly available during the evenings (Eastern Standard Time) and on the weekends. I check my Walden account several times a day but will probably not respond until the evening. I will not be available from 7:00 until 8:30 due to working out but anytime before or after is great. Below you will see my contact information:

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I am a second grade teacher from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This is my third year teaching at a private school in a self-contained classroom. While I enjoy the flexibility the self-contained classroom gives me, it's also a tremendous amount of work planning for 7 subjects a day. This is a new experience for me but I am really excited about all the new resources I will learn to use in my classroom. I am in the Central Time Zone and usually available nights and weekends. I am able to check my Walden account during the day but usually do not have time to respond until later. I have 3 children at home who are all participating in sports during the spring so I have to work around that also. This week my time will be limited due to the fact that report cards have to go out and we are required to hand write comments and grades for each student even though all of our grading in on Renweb. That's using technology right? The following is my contact information:

I am constantly looking for new ideas and better ways to get through to my students, and I'm really excited about using technology in the classroom! My availability varies, because I somehow managed to get myself involved in a ton of committees and clubs, not to mention private and homebound tutoring gigs. I mostly work at night and on the weekends, and I check in with Walden several times a day. I am on the east coast (EST). The following is my contact info:

I am currently working as a Site Director of a small daycare center. As the director I oversee the classroom teachers. I review their lesson plans to make sure they are developmentally appropriate and conduct observations to ensure the teachers are effective. Technology comes into play with our software program. I enter data like schedules and contact information and use this to create reports, bills, attendance logs, ets. Everyone on the staff comes to me for help with computers and technology in general. Even though I may not know how to do it all, I love to learn through experience. For this course I generally try to complete my papers and discussion posting on Tuesday nights. Over the weekend I check in and finish the discussion. I am on the east coast and this week I promise to check my Walden e-mail every day.
