Below, please post a brief paragraph on this homepage introducing yourself to group members. Include your contact information and any pertinent scheduling considerations (your availability, time zone, etc.). Hi everyone, My name is Julia Geiser and I teach 4th grade at Meadowbrook Elementary School in the Howard Suamico School District. The primary technology (hardware) that I use in my class are HP minis, and (software) Edmodo. You can reach me during the day (Central Standard) at 920-662-5086. In the evening between 5:30 and 8pm, please e-mail me at: julia.geiser@waldenu.edu. I'm SO looking forward to discussing our course content with all of you. media type="custom" key="12722112" Hello! My name is Jennifer McClure and I teach K-12 art at Brockton School on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Brockton, Montana. Technology in my classroom includes teacher and student computers, a SMART Board, a photo-quality scanner, and a digital camera. The best way to contact me is through email: jennifer.mcclure@waldenu.edu. If you really need to call me, my phone after 6:00 pm (MST) is 406-787-7087. On weekends I am more flexible, at least until golf meets start (I am coach). I look forward to collaborating with you all! media type="custom" key="12722184" Hi Team! I teach eighth grade physical education and fitness classes at McKnight Middle School in Renton, Washington (twenty minutes south of Seattle). My students and I use pedometers daily in class to track steps taken, distance covered and calories burned during exercise; when I get the chance to have my students on computers blogging with google's eblogger and voicethread are our most common utilized tools. Anytime after 4:00PM PST on week days is a good time to get ahold of me, weekends are flexible. School e-mail is my perferred way of contact david.keniston@waldenu.edu, but if you need to call my number is (206) 375-8313. Talk to you soon! media type="custom" key="12722242"

__**Laura Mahany**__ Hello! I am Laura Mahany, and I teach middle school special education in Knoxville TN. This also means that I am in the Eastern Time Zone. Typically anytime after 5 or 6 on weekdays works for me, or I would be able to work on a weekend as well, if I knew ahead of time. Technology in my classroom is SMARTboard, access to classroom computers, kindles, etc, but they are beat up. I work in an EXTREMELY low income school, where things often get stolen. I like to try to check Walden email at least once a day laura.mahany@waldenu.edu, but I text like crazy all day and evenings- 719.930.2110 if anyone ever needed me! Thanks! media type="custom" key="12832824"

__**Dawn Kinnell**__ Hi everyone! I am Dawn Kinnell and I teach in a post-secondary special education program in Livonia, MI. I am in the Eastern Time Zone and am typically flexible with meeting online. I would say best times for me are also after 5 or 6 and weekends are even more flexible as long as we set it up ahead of time. I teach technology so in my classroom I have 15 desktop computers which is one for each student. I am currently working on trying to get a Smartboard in my classroom at this time. I am also in the process of TRYING to start up Edmodo...it is a slow process because of time restraints and me trying to figure out a couple of things! I am glad to see some of you are hooked up with this since I think I am going to need some help with it! I am excited to begin using it in my classroom. You can reach me via Walden email, or via my cell phone which the number is 734-306-0597...you can call or text me anytime if needed. I look forward to working with all of you this term!! :) media type="custom" key="12832778" __//**Stephen Gross**//__ Hello!
