I teach Communications Technology in an Alberta, Canada high school. We have a student body of 650 students and are in the process of renovating our school to meet 21st century needs. I am thrilled to be at my school in this position as it is my first public education position after a decade long hiatus from the k-12 system. As I am in Alberta, we are on Mountain Standard Time. I am available from approximately 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm Mountain Standard Time Monday through Friday. As well, I am available most Saturdays and Sundays. I can be contacted via my Walden email address.

Hello Everyone. I am so glad to recognize so many names in this group. It seems as though many of us are heading towards the end of our journey at Walden and I am approaching this with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Currently I teach third graders in an International School in Belgrade, Serbia. It is a great place to work and I have been fortunate to travel around the world in my career (hence the image I chose). My time zone is GMT +1 hour. Deanna shared with us a great tool for quickly working out time differences, I linked it here to help us visualize convenient times for collaboration. Meanwhile, I will be checking the discussion threads here regularly and, I agree with DD, let's try and keep as much of our conversation inside the wiki as we can. I look forward to sharing my insights on new and emerging technologies with you.

==== Hello all. I teach Spanish at Elida High School in Elida, OH. This year I am teaching Spanish 1, 3, and AP Spanish. Along with teaching, I am also the Student Council Advisor and the head sound tech in our auditorium. I am on Eastern time. I am currently in the middle of adopting a child so most nights I am going somewhere or doing something for that. I also am in the middle of the school musical right now, so that is taking a lot of my time. And I also have two boys that pretty much take the rest of my time. So I don't really have a standard time I am available, but will do my best to keep up with what is going on and contribute to our wiki. I'm looking forward to finishing this course and the Master's program. ====

David Broom: My name is David Broom and I teach 3rd grade in Springville, New York. Springville is located 30 minutes outside of Buffalo and is a rural school. I also coach JV boys basketball at Springville. I am married and my wife and I have just started a family with our two month old baby girl named Claire Jane. It is amazing and is a ton of work at the same time!

My name is Sara Cutbirth. I teach technology in a specials rotation for grades K-5. I live in Aurora, Colorado with my husband and two boys. Joshua is 8 and Ethan is 6. They keep me very busy!! Technology is a new assignment for me this year and has been an adjustment. I taught 3rd and 4th grade for the past eleven years,so it has been weird getting used to not having my own class of students. I have enjoyed this past week as other teachers in the building were completing report cards and conferences.
