(Ning, the company, sponsored the creation of this network by hiring me as a consultant to set it up and maintain it in its initial stages. I hope you find it helpful. My primary network, and the best place to reach me now, is Classroom 2.0.)
I am the director of the K12 Open Technologies Initiative at the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), and am the founder of the Classroom 2.0 social network (www.classroom20.com). I blog, speak, and consult on educational technology, and am particularly passionate about Web 2.0, social networking, Free and Open Source Software, computer reuse, and computing for low-income populations. I run the Open Source Pavilion and speaker series for the NECC and CUE shows, am the organizer of EduBloggerCon, and hold a series of free workshops around the country (Classroom 2.0 LIVE) to help educators learn about the educational uses of the participative aspect of the Web. I have done consulting work for PBS, Intel, Ning, and others on educational technology and social networking. I am also the Emerging Technologies Chair for NECC, a regular columnist at School Library Journal, and a blogger at www.SteveHargadon.com, the Infinite Thinking Machine and TechLearning. My podcast series on educational technologies can be found at www.EdTechLive.com and at Classroom 2.0. My wife and I have four children.
