Teachers and iColllaboratory Team members please introduce yourselves here!
Greetings from Northern Illinois, USA!
I teach 7th grade students (12 - 13 year olds) science in Antioch, Illinois. I have been teaching at this school for 14 years and enjoy bringing my experiences in industry prior to teaching into today's classroom. I teach between 150 - 180 students each year and teach the highly endorsed US Common Core Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. My classes have used only interactive and hands-on teaching since I began at this school, so STEAM is an important part of our day. (STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math)
I hold a BS degree in Chemistry, an MBA and an MAT (Masters in the Art of Teaching). I am often awe struck by the wonders of the universe and I am currently involved in Enterprise in Space, a project of the National Science Society that will be launching an orbiter(Enterprise) and will carry 100+ student experiments developed by students from around the world. (see www.enterpriseinspace.org). I am excited to be the Manager of the Middle School/Junior High Education Program of this awesome project!
I look forward to working with i-Collaborary and you.

Hello! I'm Linda, a recently retired CPS (Chicago Public Schools) technology instructor. While using technology with my students, we had many occasions to utilize the iCollaboratory's various online school projects. I was so impressed with the organization, that I have decided to continue helping others use the iCollaboratory during their teaching / learning experiences.
Hello! I am Theresa Allen, technology teacher and coordinator at the Cathedral of St. Raymond school in Joliet, IL. We are about 45 minutes south of Chicago, IL. We look forward to working with you!
