| Name | Position | Favorite summer photo you took! | Why did you join this CoP? |
| Michael Walker | Secondary Technology Integrationist |  | I am excited for the opportunity to assist staff in improving instruction and student learning in a student-centered learning environment. |
| David Boone | High School Mathematics & Boy's Track Coach | No money to travel anywhere, only got a 1% raise! But I did enjoy watching my daughter play soccer this summer! | The concept of being part of a wireless classroom and extending the learning outside the classroom walls goes back to my roots from my first three years of teaching at Winona Cotter High School where I was part of a three person team that developed a "Virtual School" initiative. I truly believe a 1-1 community of wireless learners is the future of education. |
| Melissa Kalinowski | 8th Grade Social Studies |  | I'm interested in incorporating more hands on learning opportunities for my students. |
| Cathy Weller | on the 7th grade end of an 7-8 loop in Social Studies |  Shendoah National Park was lovely but it took a five climb to get to and from this spot. Beware the circle route! | I'm interested in the paper saving aspects of 1-1 computer use. If we can download textbooks or provide internet access to them, we could reduce the use of a lot of paper and cut down textbook expenses too. |
| Margaret Smith | 8th Grade Language Arts |  | I am excited about the potential changes access to technology will bring to the classroom. |
| Dan Wymore | 6th Grade Science/LA |  | I love technology and its potential in education. Plus, I heard this was the CoP all the "Cool Teachers" were joining. |
| Beth VonEschen | 8th Grade Science |  | I love how the interwrite pad has changed the way that I teach and my students learn. I am hopeful and confident that the wireless initiative will continue improve my instruction and help us become part of the 21st century. |
| Jeff Krause | Enriched and General Biology - EHS |  | I am excited about the possibility this holds for some of our students. |
| Mel Padden | Social Studies 7-8 loop- Valley View | I understand that 8th grade is one of the pilots for this project and I wanted to be on board from the beginning! | |
| Chris Peterson | 7th Math - SVMS | I'm excited and skeptical all at the same time! | |
| Dean Dahl | 6th Grade Reading |  | Wireless is the way of the future, so lets bring the future to our Edina Classrooms! |
| Heidi Degener | 8th Grade Language Arts - VVMS | I would like to see how 1-1 laptops could change the way we teach writing. | |
| Alison Anderson | 8th grade science - VVMS |  This is my son before our daily morning walk this summer. If you can't tell by his smile, he LOVES to go for walks! | I'm excited to see how laptops can be used in the lab setting (aka. laps in the lab!) |
| Irmgard Farah | 8th grade French and Soical Studies VVMS |  My daughter and I went to Namibia this summer and played with cheetahs. | Having laptops in my classroom would help to provide real world experiences for my students in French on a regular basis. It could also help to teach writing in a more motivating way. |
| Nicole Nuckley | 8th Grade Science, SVMS |  Me on a horse in Montana! | I'm new, and my team has already decided to go forward together on this endeavor. Bring it on! |
| Kris Bangasser | 8th gr- VV Social Studies | The 8th grade team decided to do it together last spring. | |
| John Kraus | Art SVMS | Photo of my big change for a Spirit Day this year. | The idea of helping to start the Wireless One to One initiative in Edina was a chance I could not pass up. |
