Teaching and Learning

Please take a mo to introduce yourself, as detailed or informal as you wish..
I'll start. I'm Amanda Salt, Head of Spanish and Community Link Manager in Grosvenor Grammar School in Belfast. I started this ning because I am rapidly becoming obsessed with alll things web 2.0, and because I firmly believe that the best way to improve the teaching and learning in your classroom is by talking to others.. Here's to us!!

I'm Lauren Rosen and I direct the University of Wisconsin Collaborative Language Program. We use a hybrid approach for teaching Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Russian to college students. I'm a former secondary school Spanish teacher and active in helping language educators integrate Web 2.0 tools effectively. I continue to work closely with K-12 language teachers. Lots of projects in the works at the moment but debating about the use of Ning vs. Wikis for creating community as a follow up to many workshops and seminars I present. In the past I have always invited participants to continue the discussion in a wiki. It's rare that I get much response. Looking forward to seeing what kind of community grows around this Ning.
