Hi, Linda
I teach 9th grade also, and would like to add you as a friend. I came to Seedlings as a result of a class I was taking this summer, and now that school has started here in North Georgia want to see about using more technology in my classroom. Tomorrow I meet my 3 classes of Honors 9, and they will no doubt be rarin' to go!
I'd love to know what you read in class, what you write, and how you use technology.
Also, can you tell me what SAD61 is?
Hi Linda,
I used to teach in SAD61 in the early 80's. It was a great place and Ernie, I wonder if I ran into you somewhere!! I was the Special Ed Director from 1980-1983.Linda were you there then? Glad you are involved with Seedlings. We have a presentation at the ACTEM conference in October. www.actem.org
Hi Linda. Welcome to Seedlings and the conversation. We moved up to Aroostook County 21 years ago from East Sebago. My 2 kids attended there and in 5th grade my daughter to Crooked River.
Fresh from GTADC Richard Byrne will join us this week. Richard blogs at Free Technology for Teachers Please join us at 7:30 PM EST at http://edtechtalk.com/live
