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).

I decided not to apply this time, but next time I am going to plan to get my video done early enough to be viewed, critiqued and edited. Last time people saw some things that now I realize I should have edited, but I just didn't have time.

Thanks Janice! I have a different backstory than most teachers and felt that needed to be explained. Let's see what happens!
I think that this looks great also. I like the personal story. It seems like I know you and understand why you want to go.

Camilla, I agree with Cheryl - go see Serena Offcourse on Blackbear Island. She's great and knows all the ins and outs. She's got great style sense too! --Sarah (Syra Saeed in SL, edueyeview on twitter)
Give it a go!I am still falling down. Look for Serena Offcourse at Black Bear Island, she is my fashion consultant and very helpful.

I'm @edubeacon on Twitter. Your recent Seedlings podcast has me thinking of giving Second Life another go. On there I'm Millie Brink - on the brink and very much the amateur!
Thanks Alice! I appreciate the feedback. I will try adjusting the volume! Thanks again!

WOW! I love how you used your kids in the movie. The only thing I can suggest about the sound (I think you can do this in iMovie '08) is in the sound bar at the bottom, you can adjust the volume with a little line. If you drag the line up, it will...
Hi! I'm applying to be a Google Certified Teacher. I had seen some posting on here last year where other Google Certified Teachers gave comments on applicants' videos. I would love some feedback! Here's the link to my video: http://www.youtube.com...

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.
