Introduction

Hi everyone!

Thanks you for joining this Wiki! I am Karen Ganzel and manager for this wiki space. This wiki is for students in the EDUC 6730C-1 Teacher Cohort. If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please feel free to contact me at karen.ganzel@waldenu.edu or kganzel09@gmail.com. I am available during most of the daylight hours by email. My current work has me working on the internet from home as I continue to search for a teaching position in our new state. The name of the space, as well as the look of the page, are just something I picked quickly to register. Please let me know of any suggestions. I am creating individual pages for a few things for everyone to contribute opinions and suggestions to.

I am Tracey Thompson, I live and work in Cabarrus County in North, Carolina. I teach Special Education, I began the differentiated instruction and on-line resources page, I am still not sure if that is a requirement, I welcome any additions to the page. I try to get on the wiki each day. You can email me through the wiki or through tracey.thompson2@walden.edu. I can be reached mostly in the evenings, I am in the eastern time zone.

﻿Hey everyone. I'm Brooke, and I am still very confused about this whole Wiki thing. I am very sorry about that. Anyway, a little bit about me: I am 29 years old, will be 30 on Saturday!!! I have a beautiful energetic 3.5 year old daughter named Ava, and my husband and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a second child. We are due July 5th and will find out what we are having on the 18th of this month (as long as baby cooperates). I live in Ludington, Michigan which is great in the summer because we have a beautiful beach, but not so great in the winter because I am really not a fan of the snow! my walden email is brooke.compeau@waldenu.edu

Hello, My name is Adam James and I am a 27-year-old high school physics teacher in Wilton, CT, USA. I am proud father to an energetic two-year-old. I have worked on one other wiki before, a collaborative work designing games and stories, so I have some experience with wiki organization. You can email me at my walden address adam.james@waldenu.edu or at my work address jamesa@wilton.k12.ct.us

Hi everyone my name is Perry Mann, I live in Alliance Ohio, and me and my wife are preparing for our first child. I am not currently working in a school but run a program at a YMCA that was organized by the schools and still has close connections to the district. We work on tutoring, enrichment, and family development to compliment what the schools are teaching. Feel free to contact me through my Walden email at perry.mann@waldenu.edu or my personal email at pmannfury@gmail.com.

Hello, my name is Kristy Baumgartner. I live near St. Louis, Missouri, and I teach 5th grade. The best way to contact me is through the Walden email account. I am busy at school from around 7 am to nearly 6 pm every night. I have never created a Wiki or website, so the process is entirely new to me as well. kristy.baumgartner@waldenu.edu

Hi! My name is Susan Kraut and I teach 6th grade earth science and 8th grade physics/chemistry at Torrington Middle School in Torrington, CT. This is my second year teaching these courses at these levels, as most of my experience is high school biology. I took 8 years off to raise 2 children (10 yr old son and 8.5 yr old daughter) after teaching in Colorado and Tennessee. Technology in the classroom changed a great deal between 2000 and 2008! Being a single mom, my school nights are as busy as my work days. (I told myself I wouldn't make excuses.) I'm at susan.kraut@waldenu.edu or skraut@torrington.org. Thanks!

Hello everyone! Sorry about the late post. I went out of town this weekend and expected to have wi-fi in the cabin that we rented and to my surprise when we checked they did not offer internet!!! I almost panicked but was able to let Dr. Brong know that my submission would be late. Who would have thought! Anyway, I am back home now and getting back to the real world of technology! My name is Patricia. I go by Trish. I live in north Georgia. I am 28 years old. I am a fourth grade teacher at a local elementary school. I am totally new to wikis so I am a little clueless as to what we are required to do. The best way to contact me would be my walden email patricia.flood@waldenu.edu. Thanks!
