Maria Mallon  Hello and welcome to the tech integrators wiki. I am a K-1 looping teacher at [|Chets Creek Elementary]

At our school we are very fortunate to have an extraordinary technical coach, Melanie Holtsman (//see side bar//), who guides us through the amazing world of Web 2.0. Our classroom blog is **[|http://mallonmessages.blogspot.com]** and has been on line for two years. It contains digital slide shows, flip videos, teacher tube additions, and a biweekly journal of the happenings in our classroom. There are a few wikis that our team has collaborated on the past year. They include: **first grade cce ** (all you wanted to know about teaching a year in first grade at Chets Creek); **poetry** (a copulation of first grade poetry for the year 2008-2009); and a "pilot wiki" that we created to have students log their daily **Book in a Bag** on line (which was very successful).

I am in my thirteenth year of teaching and received my National Board Certification in 2005. I have enjoyed each new year of teaching and learning more than the last...I guess that's what it's all about!
