Hi,
I am Trish Loeblein from PhET Interactive Simulations. I am not a member of Facebook, a Blog, or Twitter, but spend my much of life on email, Google Docs, and evaluating contributions to the PhET Teaching Ideas pages. However, I have been a member of ISTE for some time and have attended/presented/exhibited at Colorado and National conferences. I also provide from my students and parents a robust website and a messaging service provided by my district to send emails to parents and students.
I enjoy working part-time as a teacher and part-time with PhET where I get to participate on sim development, writing teaching materials, and offering professional trainingt. I was at Evergreen HS for 18 years and am preparing to teach at my neighborhood school - Conifer HS. I haven't moved my website yet, but look forward to the challenge. In my science courses, we use technology regularly and over the span of 31 years, I have continued to enable my students to use tools that I think will help them be successful without losing sight of the content knowledge they need to survive as well.
I personally love online interactions like Skype, but still see the value of meetings where all contributors are in one room because the live interaction has less lag time and body launguage helps facilitate open discussion.
I really enjoyed the course P2PU helped me provide in July and feel more comfortable with posting my information and comments for a more wide audience than I have previously.
Trish
