Introductions
My name is Rashida Francis
I am a special education teacher at Henderson Middle School, which is in Dekalb County.
I currently have a blog set-up for a project I did with my students on Georgia's Drought. It is a work in progress. I also did a presentation on blogging for a class, but I used wordpress, so I am excited to learn about another "Blogging" website. I am interested in teaching a blogging class at my school and I am here to get a few pointers. I would like to know what the term WEB 2.0 means.
Introductions
My name is Gus Perkins. I am a Business Education Teacher @ Marietta High School in the Marietta City Schools District. I
I have explored blogging previously in a summer workshop here @ KSU and found it very interesting. Due to some IT restrictions, I was not able to follow through. However with the Google access I believe I can move forward successfully. I am also fullfilling a Job Shadow requirement for an MHS articulation with dual enrollment classes.
I read some blogs from time to time, including some KSU staff blogs, but none regularly at this time.
I hope to set up a blog for use with student assignments, and establish a consistent habit with blogging for myself and students.
I am interested in learning more about other Web2.0 offerings such as some of the database and spreadsheet programs available for recordkeeping.
Introductions
Curriculum Support Teacher
Fulton County
Beginner-I have a blog, but Stephanie created it and I really don't know how to use or manipulate it.
I have read a few of the blogs that teachers in our school have created and a few newspaper sports related blogs.
I would love to be able to create my own blogs on the school website.
Very interested in podcasting and vodcasting.

Today's information will be useful as well. Our school is very much into the integration of technology and I do not often get the opportunity to participate in the trainings.

Introduction
Introductions
As the tech spec, I feel I need to try to keep up to date with current technology. I have occasionally gone to a blog accidentally when looking for topics in Google. I have a teacher at Haynes Bridge who does have a blogger blog and she posts homework every day. I felt it would be a good thing to be able to help other, less adventurous teachers at my school do the same.
I just this morning learned what Web 2.0 means so I'm sure I'm interested in some of the Web 2.0 applications - once I learn what they are!
Introductions
My name is Carole Pilgrim. I teach k-5 gifted students reading and math at Black's Mill Elementary School in Dawson County. Our school is right behind the Premium Outlet Mall. I am a virgin blogger. I've never read a blog, and know very little about Web 2.o items. I am looking forward to learning how to apply this with my students. I do have an accoun with Quia where I communicate daily with my students.
introductions
My name is Edie Keith. I am the computer teacher at Kilough Elementary in Dawsonville, Ga. I am just learning about blogging. Just about every website you go to now has a blog. I don't read any certain one. I have used a wiki for a research project in a fourth grade class. Want to learn more ...
Introductions

Expertise: None
Blogs I read: None
I want to learn how to help teachers find a way to incorporate blogging in the classroom to incorporate more technology and make lessons more appealing to students.
Nothing specific--just general interest
Introductions
I feel that I have a medium level of experience with blogging. Last spring, I began my own blog on my garden, but then we had a drought so I let that project slide a little bit! :)
I have several friends who blog. I try to read their blogs once or twice a week because it's a nice way to keep up with people who you don't get to talk to very often. Most people I know blog through myspace, but to be quite honest with you, myspace drive me crazy! It's way to "busy" for me. Blogger is nice and simple!
I'd really like to learn how to utilize a blog for school, and I'd like to have my language arts students begin their own blogs. Kids don't think they are reading or writing when you put a computer in front of them!

I am currently a library media specialist at Lockheed Elementary Leadership Academy.
My school is one of 8 elementary schools in the Marietta City Schools District.
My level of expertise is very minimal. I read a few blogs on a regular basis, mostly other
media specialists' blogs in the area and I have used the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl with
our schools reading bowl team.
I hope to gain from this class the ability to create a blog for our media center, that will be enthusiastically used by the teachers and the students in my school. I also would like to able to teach the faculty in my school how to also create blogs for their classes.
Web 2.0 applications that I use...... Well after today, I hope I will become more adventurous and search more out.
