Eric Wiebe, Ph.D.
I am an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education. I work in both science and technology education, looking at the use of graphic representations in learning. I also work on issues of integrating technology (like laptops!) into the classroom. In a previous life I was at one point or another: a chemist, carpenter, furniture designer, and computer programmer. I have been at NCSU as a teacher, administrator, and researcher for 18 years.

Joselyn Todd, Ph.D.
//Who am I?// I am in my 11th year of 1to1 teaching at [|Cary Academy] and currently teach 7th grade science and an Advanced Medical Technology Program in the Middle and Upper School. I am also the Middle School Science Department Chair and have taught chemistry in our Upper School in the past. //What I am most proud of?// I come from a family of educators from the midwest ([|Cambridge, IL]). My parents have a combined 70+ years of teaching experience in public schools (special education and science education). My twin sister (special education with a learning disabilities specialty) is the [|vice-principle of the largest elementary school in KS]. 100% of the population has at least one parent deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. My brother is an award winning advanced math and physics teacher. My younger sister is a web application developer and owns her own business (she escaped the teaching bug). // What am I currently focusing on in my teaching practice? // E-mail: joselyn_todd@caryacademy.org Blog: [|Emerging Ed Tech-Musings of a MidLink Editor]
 * Integration of Web 2.0 technologies into my general science curriculum such as content delivery via RSS feeds, podcasting, screencasting, social networking, and vodcasting.
 * Developing and facilitating the Cary Academy Advances in Medical Technology Program (AMTP) which focuses on robotic assisted cardiovascular surgery as well as other emerging medical technologies in other medical specialties (orthopedics and neuropsychiatry).
 * Integration of robotics (Lego Mindstorms) and basic programming/game development into both the AMTP class and general science classes.
 * Assimilation of blogging and wiki use into the classroom curriculum.

Lauren Greene
I am a first year Masters graduate student in Science Education. I first used my teaching skills in a career as a dog trainer. Over the last nine years I have taught environmental education for the Georgia Environmental Organization in Atlanta, Sandpiper Tours nature boat tours in Charleston, SC, Sewee Visitor and Environmental Education Center in Awendaw, SC, the Red Wolf Coalition in Columbia, NC, and the Dunwoody Nature Center in Atlanta, GA.
