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.
