About Me

I am Kirsten Haugen, MA, a parent, special education teacher, writer, and educational technology consultant with special interests in assistive technology, early intervention, student writing and publishing, and mental health issues for children and adolescents.

Connections

I developed the Edison Student Publisher’s Wiki to give my publishing students a chance to tap into resources and work more independently.

The Classroom 2.0 Ning is a great place to connect with other teachers interested in how web 2.0 technologies can impact education.

Check out the Assistive Technology Ning for an incredible open network of people passionate about ways technology can extend opportunities for people with disabilities to communicate, learn and share.

Hi Kirsten,

Here’s my blog - http://rmtctechnotes.blogspot.com/
I don’t keep it up. I created it as an example of something teachers can do.

Hello Kirsten,

I cut and pasted a story of yours about Art2Heart and then realized later that I may have needed to get permission. I am new to blogging and am a little technology challenged. I hope that it was okay to have posted this on my blog. I later(today) edited the post and added your blog’s name onto the post to give you credit. I will take it down if I need to. Thank you so much for spreading the word. I had heard about Nance program and have exchanged several emails with her about a project I am sending her. She seems to be such a kind and gracious person.
best wishes,
Laney
