Hi! I am trained in film making and I am also a media education teacher. I am currently studying my M.Ed delving into the field of media education. I have always been very passionate about film and media, and have loved sharing this with my students. Now as a mum of two and M. Ed student, I am enjoying learning even more. It is an area that really excites me. Looking forward to sharing and learning with you all too! It is an exciting time to be a teacher! I love using Twitter as a PLN too! Just brilliant!

Connecting with other Australian teachers will be a great asset to me not only for this subject but also for my on going study and teaching. Thanks for the welcome and also to Tony Kuc who made the suggestion via Twitter to join this ning.

Good morning.....calling all teachers, students, colleagues, etc...

I sincerely apologize if any of you are receiving this message more than once. We are trying to reach as many teachers/students as possible around the world. It's possible that you're a member of more than one of the groups I have joined. My apologies!

My name is Rossel Mulaire. I am a Canadian teacher who has been living and working in Monterrey, Mexico since 2004. For the past two years, I have been teaching 8th and 9th grade Social Studies/World History. My other responsibilities include being our school's Model United Nation's advisor and Social Studies Department Head. I have taught many different grade levels (first through tenth grades), in Canada, South Korea, and Mexico.

I recently started a little project on Twitter with my 8th and 9th graders, tweeting daily about historical facts and events, sort of like a "this day in history". We are wondering if you'd be able to give out our twitter address to students and teachers. Not only wherever you find yourselves now, but anywhere else you may have contacts. We see this as a great way to teach and appreciate history, bit by bit, one small step at a time. We are trying to use technology to reach more students, and to open dialogue with students and teachers around the world.

If you are in a position to help us, please do so by JOINING US ON TWITTER and by sending our twitter address to students and colleagues, past and present. Ask them to follow our many daily tweets. At the moment, we are tweeting about historical events and facts from around the world. We'd love to see students commenting on our tweets, and also, by adding to our project by posting historical content from their respected countries.

We are hoping to hear from teachers and students from all  parts of the world! The students are keeping a record of the various countries following us! Please help out by following us. The more people (students, teachers, family members, etc) we have following us, the more excited the students get. This excitement then becomes a motivator to continue! Help us make learning about history a little more interesting!

Our  twitter address is: www.twitter.com/rosselmulaire

Please feel free to contact me anytime. I'd be happy to answer any questions or doubt you may have.

Rossel Mulaire

Colegio Euroamericano,

8th and 9th grade Social Studies teacher

Social Studies Department Head and Model United Nations Advisor

Hi all,

Just wondering if there are any Queenslanders amongst this group and if so... has your school been affected by the floods? If so - how can we help? The TV was compulsive viewing and it is hard to imagine the impact this will all have on the communities so devastated. Personally I just cannot imagine what it would be like to return to your classroom that was the repository of a career's worth of resources and have it all ruined! Please tell us if there is any way we can help you get back on your feet - a *classroom care package* or two may help to lift spirits! Regards, Deb (Sydney)

Hi everyone. My name is Penny and I am a science teacher, teaching biology, physics and psychology in Adelaide. I trek through cyberspace blogging as I go in "A teachers adventures in cyberspace" sharing sites and web 2.0 apps I have found, as well as my experiences in trying to implement them in the classroom.

Hi there. I am a teacher currently living and working in a remote Indigenous community in far north-west South Australia. I am currently teaching upper primary but moving into our preschool next year and beginning some post grad. early childhood education study. Over the last few months, I have begun an amazing learning curve on the net, especially here and on twitter. Very excited to be joining the conversations and networks!

Hi, I'm a grade 5 teacher, teaching at an International School in Germany. Before moving here 4 years ago I was teaching in Sydney at DET schools. I'm enjoying the challenge of working with the IBO PYP curriculum.

I'm smiling to be connecting with other Australians, despite the distance. I look forward to learning and sharing with you.
