Likewise Kelly, my year so far is full on and pretty exciting, with travel overseas and starting teaching in the Middle Years Program of the International Baccalaureate Program.

Hi Jo. I teach Year 4 in Perth and am just new to blogging. Had a quick look at your students blogs. Hopefuuly I can get my students to do something like that. Do you know any primary teachers on Classroom 2.0 from Aus?

Hi Jo: I look forward to learning more about your work. Australia has a reputation for some of the best media education in the world. In the U.S., we know scholars like Robyn Quin and Barry McMahon from Perth. I look forward to hearing about others who are doing work in this area. I was in Brisbane for the ATOM conference last year. Great conference and really innovative ideas about digital multiliteracies in the classroom. http://www.waikato.ac.nz/film/NAME/script/files/SCRIPT65.pdf

Bergen is lovely - and rainy. I haven't been there, but so I'v heard. It's a shame not to have been there. I was planning to go this summer, camping with my daughter, but it was to much rain. You've probably heard about it :O)

Hi Jo,

I'm in Alice Barr's Tech Class in Yarmouth, Maine. My 7th grade Language Arts students are blogging and we'd like to connect with other students to share our writing. Specifically, we are about to post reviews of short stories the students read and I'm trying to figure out how to get the reviews out there and read (i.e., become useful) to other students and readers. Do you have suggestions?

Thanks!

Amanda
