**Experienced Voices**
Another way we are jump starting your networking is by bringing in some administrators that are using the techniques we have been discussing in their own leadership. Each will be creating a Group for your to join. You do not have to join all the groups-- just the topics which interest you.

**Chris Harbeck** teaches grade 8 math to approximately 140 students each year in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He has been teaching middle school students for over a decade and is in his sixth year of using 2.0 applications and "21st Century Learning" in his classroom. Despite the fact (or more realistically because of the fact) that math is one of those subjects students often reflect back on with distaste, fear or indifference, Chris has moved from teaching both social studies and math to the one subject. He has been involved in development of the middle years math curriculum at the divisional and provincial level. With his strong focus on conceptual understanding, Chris has discovered that using 2.0 tools and applications make math fun and interesting. An encouraging trend has emerged: students do not run away and saying "I hate math"; they love to do assignments and have started to see the beauty in math. Chris has presented at the K12Online Conference. Chris blogs at Making It Interesting @http://makeitinteresting.blogspot.com/ and can be found at @charbeck on Twitter. **Chris is leading Potpourri Everyday Tools and Creative Uses. Join him!**
