Kia Ora from New Zealand. 
I’m Chrissy, a Year 7 teacher with the zodiac sign, Sagittarius - hence the inspiration for my blog name!
This my starting point as a “blogger” and using “wikis” after being inspired by people like Vicki Davis, David Warlick, and Jennifer Wagner to give it a go. These three people gave me feedback when I first started posting and I will always be grateful to them for taking the time to encourage my learning journey through Web2.0 technology.
I am completely and utterly passionate about the use of technology in the classroom! This blog will be about my learning journey through this amazing world of Web2.0. It’s exciting and motivating and time-consuming (in a good way) and it’s a journey that has put the “oommf” back into how I teach!
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I hope that you can go away with “something” as I do when I read the blogs that are included in the blogroll on the side of this blog.

It _IS_ exciting that you have technology to connect your students with others. I’ll plug our web site that has lots of content providers as well as a collaboration center that identifies lots of other teachers who are also looking for connections. See http://www.cilc.org. In the Keyword box, type in a topic of interest to see what might be available through videoconferencing. Happy hunting.
I’m currently doing a social media (yeah to web 2.0!) class at SMU - Singapore Mangement University -and we’re working with feed aggregators, social bookmarking tools, blogs, podcasts, wikis and more, so I understand when you say you’re “utterly passionate about the use of technology in the classroom”!
We need more educators like that!
If you’re interested, you could take a look at my lecturer’s blog: http://communicate.os3.sg/ He’s feverently enthusiastic about social media too, so I’m sure you both will have lots to talk about.
Hey you, Just to say missin’ readin’ yeh!
