This looks like a place where I can learn and collaborate. I don't consider myself a techie but as a classroom teacher I look for ways I can enhance the learning environment by using technology.

I joined the Technology in Elementary Schools community in hopes of meeting other elementary teachers. This is my first elgging experience so please bear with me as I learn to make this work. Thank you Alex and Arvind for setting this up. I enjoy your podcast. I'm a big EdTechTalk fan and feel like I know so many of you from listening to that webcast and other spin off podcasts from Worldbridges and EdTechTalk. Listening to those various podcasts is the best staff development I've had this year.

I am looking for ways to connect my classroom to the world. How is this being done at other schools with younger students? I'm wishing to connect and collaborate with other classroom teachers so that we can break down the walls, cross borders and build bridges.
