Week 5 Assignment


 * Koreen Humphries-Introduction**

A big "thank you" for starting our Wiki. My name is Koreen Humphries and I live in Utah. I teach 2nd grade for Alpine School District and **love it!** I am responsible for all content areas and am loving __learning__ about integrating technology into all areas to create a more motivating and 21st century classroom. I look forward to working with all of you!

 * Jillian Engelhardt - Introduction**

Thank you to Jill as well for setting up the wikispace! My name is Jillian Engelhardt and I'm currently teaching 5th grade math, language arts, and BSI in a middle school. My school has gone through a lot of changes this year and I'm hoping to find the end of the year a bit better than the beginning! I am very excited to continue learning with everyone, I am so excited to be able to use all of these wonderful things that I am learning here at Walden U. in my classroom! ~Jillian


 * Jill Morris- Introduction**

Not a problem! I am still not great at wikis yet. Can every create their own page or do I need to do that? This is definitely a work in progress and a learning experience for me! My name is Jill Morris and I currently teach 6th grade (in elementary school) in Ferndale, WA. Tomorrow morning, I leave with three other classes to outdoor school at Camp Killoqua in Stanwood, WA. My mind is currently swimming with camp details and I hope that the weather is not as bad as predicted. Unfortunately, I will not have __access__ to technology for two days. I plan on uploading most of my master's work on Wednesday after we get back. I am sorry I will not be able to respond before then. I will be in the woods with 100 5/6th graders, 30 parents and 3 coworkers. Let the adventure begin! :-)

Hello all! It was so nice to those who got this wiki started. I still really do not understand wikis.. please excuse my ignorance, but I will certainly be trying to learn this week! My name is Nicole deMoll and I am a Kindergarten teacher and I teach all content areas with a low-income high ESOL population, and I love it! I really love integrating technology with my K students, although it can be extra challenging at times.

Hi! Thank you Jill for getting this wiki started. I am a third grade teacher in Columbia, SC. I teach all content areas and love the curriculum integration the projects we get to work on allow. It helps with the stress of covering so many objectives. I also love to use technology as much as possible in class. I have used wikis a couple of times but I am not as familiar with them as I would like to be. Hopefully this project will help me work on this skill. I am looking forward to seeing the differnet PBL lessons we crate together the next few weeks.

Hello everyone! Thank you Jill for getting this setup for us. I am a fourth grade Social Studies teacher in Amanda, Ohio. This is only my second year teaching Social Studies so I am still learning the content. I taught Reading for 7 years and my concentration is in Math. So I knew these two subjects very well. I needed a change and I have embraced my new position. However, I would like to continue to improve upon my teaching strategies and really want to transform my classroom into a student-centered learning environment. I have experience with Project-Based Learning, which I thought was the exact same thing as Problem-Based Learning, but it is not. So I am hoping to learn more about Problem-Based Learning and how to create these types of lessons. I can't wait to hear all of your ideas because I think it will really help me understand exactly how PBLs work. Good luck to everyone and enjoy!
