I graduated from Kennesaw State University in 2007 with a B.S. in Middle Grade Science Education. I continue to be amazed with the new and exciting things I am learning through Walden.

__Jessie Falabella __ I am a middle school science and math teacher in a small school in Downeast Maine. I have been teaching for three years and love working with my students. I enjoy using technology in my classroom to help increase my students awareness of the world around them. Also, I like to use technology tools as a way to increase my students literacy skills.

I grew up in West Virginia and came to Maine almost five years ago. My husband is a lobster fisherman and we married in 2008. Last April we were blessed with our first child. He will be turning one on April 8th. My husband and I are so excited!

I have bounced around in my college career due to baseball, but finally graduated from SUNY Cortland with a Health Education degree and have been teaching for the last 5 years. I am very interested in learning about this and am actually enjoying reading about this in our text (weird, right?) and watching the weekly resource videos. I can be on just about every night after 8 or 9 EST and I am interested in seeing everyone log in and add to this wiki (this is also my first time seeing a wiki besides wikipedia...) // //<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I 'm a pretty simple guy-- I love playing golf, being with my GF and our Great Dane puppy, Leo...I also enjoy working out and doing outdoor activites! // E-mail: kennethjr.hartling@waldenu.edu My Blog: @http://khartling.blogspot.com/

__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Milinda Montgomery __ <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Howdy folks, I am an 8th grade U.S. History teacher in Arlington, Texas (yes, where the new Cowboys Stadium is, and the Super Bowl ice storm fiasco). I have taught for 13 years at the same school and the same subject. I have a Bachelors in History from the University of Texas at Arlington and am looking forward to learning about all this new technology so that I can use it with my students. I have two children, a 19 year old son who is trying to get his novel published and a 21 year old daughter who is in college studying wildlife biology. My husband and I share our home (built in 1927) with my son and our one dog, a Shepard-malamute mix, named Pretty Girl. Out of all of us, I think I'm the farthest south. My hobbies are gardening (my front yard is three huge flowerbeds), working on my house, cross stitch, reading and playing Plants vs. Zombies. Normally I'm online in the evenings from 7-11, central standard time. I look forward to getting to know all of you and learning lots of new technology. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">E-mail: milinda.montgomery@waldenu.edu <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">My blog: []

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I just recently graduated with my bachelors in Business and Marketing Education in May 2010 from Buffalo State College in New York. Right now I am substituting at the surrounding school districts and coaching Cheerleading at my old high school. I'm actively seeking a full time business teacher job for the next school year but I haven't had any interviews yet....keeping the faith though. I love technology and I am very excited to be learning new ways to integrate it into the classroom! Being that substituting and my masters work at Walden are my main priorities I am very flexible as to when I can be online. I'm mostly available from 3-10 eastern time every day. But weekends do vary for me. ====== <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Contact Info: <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">E-mail: gina.moore@waldenu.edu or ginalynn52387@gmail.com <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">My blog: [|www.moorgl53.edublogs.org]
