Jessica Hi Everyone, My name is Jessica. I am a first grade teacher in NJ. I have been teaching for four years and I love it! I am getting married in May so life is very hectic right now, but I am very motivated so I will do my best to be available at everyone's convenience. As I said I live in NJ so I'm in the Eastern time zone. I'm available most nights and periodically during the day. I currently have a student teacher so I am able to do some work during the day. I look forward to working with all of you.

Jamie Hi group members! I hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend! I am a 7th/8th grade math teacher on a looping team in Kent, Ohio. I have been teaching for 9 years and the time has flown by! I am in the eastern time zone and will do my best to be available whenever needed. I am currently 36 weeks pregnant with my second child and will do my best to not go into labor when we need to complete something. :)

Meghan Hello there! Thank you Jamie for starting this up! I am a second grade teacher and I also work/live in NJ, so I am in in the eastern time zone. This is my 9th year of teaching. I have a 2 year old daughter. I still bank on her naps to get a lot of my grad school work done (like now)and I allow time in the evenings as well. I look forward to our group discussions! Congrats Jamie on your pregnancy! When is your due date?

Chad Hello, My name is Chad Kiser. I am a sixth grade Math teacher at LaBrae Middle School. I have taught Math for 11 years. I live in Windham, Ohio only about 30 minutes from where you teach Jamie. I am just finishing up coaching our high school basketball team so things should be getting a little less hectic.

Ki-yian Hi all members, First, let me introduce a little of myself. I teach grade 9 and 10 Biology in Brunei Darussalam, a neighbouring country of Singapore. Gotten myself into some confusion on what we are suppose to do with the Learning community assignment, whether everyone in the group is suppose to create a wiki and invite everyone else in the group to join or join a wiki that has been created by anyone member. Well, finally got that sorted out. Thus, if you have noticed/gotten an invitation by me with digitalteachingandlearning.wikispace.com, you can probably ignore that. I am still in the process of finding out how to take that wiki down to avoid further confusion within our group. Much apologies for the trouble caused.
