Hi, My name is Jose Rodriguez.  I am a third grade teacher in Los Angeles, CA (USA).  I also teach adult ESL at night school.  I have been part of the Edtechtalk community for the last year or so.  I recently started webcast on edtechalk;  It's Elementary with Lisa Durff, Maria Knee and Alice Mercer.  I am looking forward to becoming a webcaster building my Personal Learning Network these next few weeks.  

Jose Rodriguez 3rd Grade Teacher, Adult ESL; It's Elementary Webcast 

What an amazing first session with Cheryl, Susan and Jeff. I don't think I've ever had so many windows open at once and the chatroom was just humming!  So many awesome connections made today. 

I hope I've uploaded my introduction correctly!

 

Hi everyone! I am Cheryl Lykowski from Michigan. I am an elementary school teacher and I am working on my Master's degree. I begin my thesis research this August in International Collaboration. I am excited to be a part of this internship and I cannot wait to start connecting, collaborating, and learning!

this is my second attempt!

we'll see - i may not have adjusted prefs correctly.

hey looks like it's working yippee

Greetings.

 

I really feel like the kid whose peers left school two years ago, everything has changed, the computer room is where the bathroom used to be and no code words work any more.

 I'm very interested in the present course, though I'll probably miss all the European-unfriendly meetings after midnight our time since I live in time zone GMT + 2.

I've been a registered member of WA for about two years.

 

I hope to meet up with you somewhere.

In putting my portfolio together I went back and found some shows I liked.

 The first show was week 3 , you can listen here, http://www.webcastacademy.net/files/wow203.mp3 

I like this show because, it was a show where I was in Wells, ME, and Sharon Peters, Vicki Davis and Jen Wagner were all in Atlanta at the Georgia State Conference.
