Welcome Sarah,
I hope you have signed up for an account on opensuse.org and will add
some discussion to the wiki.
OpenSUSE has some really great programmers associatted with it and our
detailed ideas can help drive new modules and functions.
The more we tell Novell what we need the more we might get.
I'm not feeling well today so I'm not as bubbly and reponsive as I can
be.
James

Hello,
My name is Sarah, I would like to get involved in the openSUSE for
Schools project. I have experience teaching in elementary and high
school exceptional student education (ESE) settings in Florida since
1998. My educational background includes: A dual BA degree in k-12
Elementary & Specific Learning Disabilities, a MA in Varying
Exceptionalities, and I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Curriculum &
Instruction. My academic research interests include: innovation and
change in teacher preparation, understanding teaching and learning
from
a systems viewpont, and inclusion & transition issues for students
with
disabilities. In my work life, I am a project coordinator of three
grants at the University of South Florida. I have been using linux now
for about 1 year and am working on a personal goal of becoming a
developer to build oss tools for teachers, especially those who work
in
ESE. At this time, I can bring multiple perspectives to different
aspects of this project and hope that you all will feel free to call
on
me for anything that I might be able to help you with.

I would like to volunteer to assist this project by:
-serving on the governing board,
-cataloging info on edu software
-testing & writing reviews of educational packages

Some things I think I could provide ideas for would be: an IEP module,
an e-portfolio system, classroom management tools, and tools for
teachers doing action research.

I hope that my interests will fit with the project and that I can
contribute. My schedule gets hectic sometimes, but I love this kind of
thing and look forward to helping out.

Sarah
