Looking for sister classes

Hello! My name's Karina from Bs As, Argentina, and I'm coordinating a collaborative project called teensvoices where students from different language levels are discussing and investigating several topics, such as: friends, entertainment, tv, celebrations, sports, eating habits, etc.We would like to share this experience with students from diffferent parts of the world. Is anybody interested in participating with us? This is our first time in doing a project like this one, if you have any suggestion, please let us know.
You can also visit our school blog at www.challengeeducation.blogspot.com where we share many of the activities we have in the year.

Karina,
i would like more information. I may like for my students to participate. I am a Spanish teacher in New York, USA- would there be an opportunity for my students to practice their Spanish as well?

Mandy,
Por supuesto!!! Sería una experiencia intercultural formidable, colaborando mutuamente en su aprendizaje de idiomas extranjeros. El proyecto se llama teensvoices y está redactado en inglés pero podríamos organizarnos y hacer diferentes actividades en inglés y español.
Nuestros alumnos ya empezaron a trabajar pero creo que con esta idea se van a enriquecer muchísimo!!!!
Aquí somos seis profesoras con las que podés contar ante cualquier duda.
Saludos cordiales
Karina

Karina, I would be interested in my Spanish students participating in this project. We are in Georgia, which is southern USA. This could be a great opportunity for them. Let me know the details on how this would work.

Laua, You are welcome!!!! Our idea is to encourage our students to discuss about different topics they are interested in, which you can see at www.teensvoices.wetpaint.com, using their second language. Our students have just started some discussions so, you could answer or add information in English and start other discussion connected to the same topic but in Spanish and so on, or we can write our posts half in English and half in Spanish...
Let's start!!!!
