My name is Tammy Miller and I will be your course facilitator.
 I have a BS degree in Music Education from Lebanon Valley College in Annville, PA and an MA in Educational Technology and Leadership from the George Washington University in Washington, DC. I am a Keystone Technology Integrator Mentor for the Keystone Technology Integrator's program which is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. I am currently employed as the Educational Technologist for the Chestnut Ridge School District. My duties include providing professional development and assistance for the teaching staff as we work together to move our curriculum and instruction into the 21st century. I also manage the entire district's online curriculum for students enrolled in our Virtual Academy, Alternative Education Program, and those students who need alternatives to the course scheduling available through traditional brick and mortar school day.

 This is my sixth year as Adjunct Faculty with Wilkes University, facilitating the EDAM 5030 course. I enjoy meeting other PA teachers who are looking to meet the needs of the 21st century learners that enter their classrooms. It's an exciting time in education; the demands are many and the opportunities to excel are just waiting to happen!

Throughout the nine weeks we will spend together in the course, I will introduce you to several web 2.0 technologies that are great tools for the classroom, beginning with this wiki! Please explore the menu at the left. I would also direct your attention to the menu at the top. As the week progresses, I will be posting a discussion thread on the wiki discussion forum. This wiki is private; only those of us enrolled in this courses can view or edit the content on these pages.
