Tejal,

I hope you are all well and have a wonderful school year. I am writing to tell you that we are beginning our peace project for the year in honor of the United Nations International Peace day on September 21st, 2011

We invite our friends from around the world to participate in our project by writing about peace at your school, towns, city or countries. Since I am also the project director of the GVC Clubhouse there two ways in which you can send project. If you use the clubhouse wiki then please:

http://gvc-clubhouse.wikispaces.com/peace

Go to New Page and create a page called Peace - and add your school's name or organization. TAG the page: peace, and it will appear on the wiki menu. OR send your text, images or videos to marsha@gsbi.org to post on the Global Dreamers website Peace 2011-project. See Peace Archive

We are sharing our work with the Global Virtual Classroom and hope to have a great collaboration with all of the wonderful educators and kids from around the world.

Please join us. Wishing everyone a great year and looking forward to hearing from all of you,.

Sincerely,

Marsha Goren

I'm Veronica, I live in deep South Texas. I was a teacher for over 25 years, and now substitute in my hometown. I've been unable to find a permanent position, so I decided to use some of my retirement pension and began my graduate studies. I am taking two online courses in Educational Technology, something that has always interested me. It combines my love for teaching with my fascination with technology. I'm not very tech-savvy, but I'm willing to work at improving my tech skills. I hope to parlay my new skills into a new job somewhere. I saw a link to this site, checked it out, and love all the information that's provided here. Looking forward to reading more and interacting more with fellow teachers!!

I was a teacher for years, but was taken out by failed back surgery that also partially blinded me. Desperate to teach again, but stuck at home, I finally invented a way to teach online. I now teach struggling readers on Skype, and love it just as much as I did in the classroom.

I'm thrilled to know that teaching can be a part of my life for as long as I live—while I've still got my wits. ;)

YOu are inspiring to me, Paula. I am implementing a project called Globaldreamers. It is an international project and we collaborate with the Global Virtual Classroom Clubhouse. If you would like to join our peace project with them welcome! YOu can see it at Peace project and you can look at the menu on the side to see our work.

Yes, you have your wits. :-)
