Not long ago a colleague in the National Writing Project wrote to several teachers she is consulting with: “Just to let everyone know, the Wednesday evening Teachers Teaching Teachers sessions are amazing and definitely a fast track into some timely PD and community building!”

We hope this is true for a growing number of teachers. We like to think that it’s our perspectives as regular classroom teachers that makes our webcast special.

Rashmi Kathuria

Rashmi Kathuria (nic Rash Kath), Delhi, India, Middle, Secondary, Mathematics

I am currently serving as a mathematics teacher in a reputed public school in India and working since 1994. I am keen on exploring new ways of teaching and learning mathematics. I believe, visualisation of a math concept is essential for better understanding of a concept. Through technology and its integration in classrooms, this has been made possible.

Also, infinitely exploding WWW has expanded the boundaries of a classroom. Surely, the networking on web is helping in learning and growing day by day. I have explored working on many web platforms like blog/wiki/podcast/videos/voicethread/slide shows etc.

In my e journey, I started blogging in 2006, the concept learnt by me through an organisation CII Shiksha. In January 2007, I was awarded CII Shiksha's Best E-Teacher from the then President of India, honorable Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. Since then, I am striving for innovating new ways, exploring and sharing.

Mathematical Slide shows contains mathematical slide shows which are created for learning mathematics through visualisation and hands on. Podcasting House is where you will find voice sharings done by my students about their mathematics projects.

I believe utilising social networking platforms is an essential step for completing an ejourney so I created Passionate Teachers. This is a group of enthusiastic, passionate teachers who believe in exploring, learning and sharing. You will surely get motivated by seeing the work done by educators all across the gloge. Amazing!!!

Scott Merrick

Scott Merrick, USA, Elementary, Technology

I consider myself a learner and an educator and everything I do springs from those two habits of mind. I'm a perennial presenter at NECC, ISTE's annual meet-up of educational technologists, teachers, and administrators, and I teach K-4 technology at University School of Nashville and work one day a week at the Vanderbilt Center for Science Outreach as Teacher-in-residence.

My personal/professional web involvement has been active since 1995 and there is a trail of evidence in cyberspace to support that claim. I started blogging to report out a professional speaking trip to Japan in 2002 and since then blogging has become an integral part of my life, so much so that I created and maintain the Blogger's Hut in Second Life's ISTE Island, a little virtual building dedicated to educational blogs and blogging.

My primary blog redirects from http://scottmerrick.net/ and all the rest can be accessed from there. Four of my most educationally themed blogs are:

Am lucky enough to teach Spanish from Kindergarten to Year 13 (ages 3 to 18)

I've now been teaching since September 2005, during which it's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride - learning how to adapt from being a secondary teacher by training to a day-to-day jack of all trades as I introduced Spanish to both the prep and senior sides of a small, rural Methodist church school. Thanks to the Isle of Wight conference 2006 I began blogging, which has taken me off to work on BBC Jam for a while and also to start lecturing about the use of new technologies in education - in particular blogs, podcasts and mobile phones. Using their language to teach them ours.
