Profile Information
- Tell us about yourself!
- Professional stuff: I'm an instructional technology integrator for middle school language arts in public schools in Chesterfield County, Virginia (a large suburban area southwest of Richmond). I circulate among 14 middle schools that include a wide range of economic and cultural profiles, training teachers and modeling lessons that integrate the use of technology and best practices. There are 55 integrators like me in my county, each of us focusing specifically on one content area and a general grade level (either elementary, middle, or secondary). I'm proud to add -- and I'm probably bragging but it was hard work -- that I'm a National Board Certified teacher, as well.
Personal stuff: I'm old (53) but progressive & still radical. I'm a mother of a college sophomore at Va.Tech (i.e., I'm broke but proud), married to a retired firefighter/Navy man whom I adore, I'm addicted to films, especially classics, I love to read and write, and I'm an internet lurker. Find me at Plurk, Delicious, Diigo, and Facebook (username: sharon_elin).

Hi, Alice. Like you, I find the gifts feature much too silly and Facebook-like. You can easily remove it by clicking the "remove the gifts feature" link from the Gifts icon on your Manage page. Cheers.
Would love to shed a little light on this, Bob, Alice, Sheri and Wes.
Back at the beginning of November, these new ads began popping up on nings I had created for various committees where I work. A few people including me protested that the ads wer…

I haven't run in to the match ads, so maybe they were short lived. I do wish they would get rid of the gift thing, I looked through the management options, and couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Anyone else know how?

With your work in Education Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.
