Cindy Buchanan
Hello - I teach K-5 Technology in Waukee, Iowa which is a western suburb of Des Moines. Despite declining enrollment in many districts, Waukee has been the fastest growing district in the state of Iowa for that last consecutive 17 years. In the last few years, our ESL population has increased dramatically. There are currently 55 languages spoken by students in our district. I love my job and finding ways to utilize technology in a way that changes teaching and learning. I am a single mom to 4 boys - ages 19, 18, 12 and 11 - although I recently became engaged (this weekend!) and so my life will also be blessed with another 11 year old boy, 7 year old girl and my future husband! Needless to say, my life will be changing a lot in the next several months!

Matthew Horning
7th Grade World History - Alliance City Schools, Ohio (ET) I teach in a small urban school district. I teach one class of reading and four classes of world history with 25 students in each. Our student population is around 70% low-SES and 18% African-American. I have a one-to-one laptop and iPod teaching environment in my classroom due to an ARRA Title II-D grant. My wife and I have three beautiful girls at home (6, 4, and almost 2). We enjoy keeping our family very involved in church, music and sports.

** Brittany Millsap ** Hello everyone! My name is Brittany. I am 27 years old and have been teaching for 4 years now. I teach 6th grade in a small town in Northwest Georgia. The area has many economically disadvantaged students and a high population of Hispanics. I just became a new mom 5 months ago to my sweet little boy Kamden. I am so excited to almost be done here at Walden so that I can devote more time to my little family.  If you need to contact me, I can be reached through email at brittany.millsap@waldenu.edu. I will get a skype username soon if that is how we would like to communicate. I look forward to it!

Hi guys my name is Syuen Walker-Ferreira; however I often answer to Sue. I work in a private institution in Nassau, Bahamas as a History / Library Science teacher in the Secondary Department. I am 31years of age and have been teaching for the past 11 years. I have three sons kole will be 7 this month, Keitaro 3, he just started school last Wednesday and loves it and Kemuel 1 year old. I am looking forward to spending time with them when I am through with Walden. Kole wants to start Soccer and Karate which I am looking forward to as well. I use to enjoy going to the movies, being on my computer doing anything does not matter what and meeting people. I have not gotten a chance to do any of them since I started Walden; I am looking forward to that as well.

I am thinking that we can link on Skype, let me know if you guys are for that. My Walden email address is syuen.walker-ferreira@waldenu.edu. My phone number is 242-601-1169. This is long distance. If we have to meet online I can meet anytime after 7 pm EST time. Looking forward to working with you guys.
