no, it's a picture i took down on 38th st in austin. same place i took my blogger picture. this one turned out SO awesome. thanks!

thanks for writing, Lisa. I look forward to communicating with you.

I like what you're doing with your wiki and your student's Spanish is pretty good. Kudos to you.

Thank you for the invitation. Now I just need to figure it all out and how to use the concepts.

I agree with you this would be great to use and we can tell those who decide to help as well. We do have a high school teacher wanting to help. You can also teach us how to use wiki spaces. I am wondering if we can write a collective grant for the magazine ¿Qué tal? for the SPN I classrooms next year. Just a thought!!

Hi Lisa by the way the wiki is (wetpaints) and ive signed in
but not added anyone/or much yet ...
no suprise there then!! especially after yesterdays lesson
and last few weeks riduculous

Thanks! for your comment- interested what you said
so i feel i have little or no help in my school and for/ to think other places at least in UK, with league tables - academies in place in High schools
prus (pupil referal units)... so how is the foreigner or native speaker
suppose to pick up the threads and assist the kids. in the first place with a teacher whos both inadequate within his/her teaching and speaking a fair standard of english??

and some TEACHERS now or wwere looked at upon with pay (performance) related pay - its really a sad ( for me)
and very awkward situation being...an individual native English speaker (with teaching exp at home, but not qualified)
IF you have any advice following your comment on bulllying let me know
also ive had some info/advice from somone else on here

Jim

I enjoyed reading your thoughts on "preaching to the choir," etc. Your wiki project sounds great. I had a similar experience with kids this year where I saw them really engaged in something and thought about how much that kind of engagement can change learning. I hope you do present your work at foreign language conferences -- more people need to see the power of engaging classroom projects.

Lisa, you've inspired me, reminded me why I actually took this job and I am going to work on it with your help this coming year. I want our teachers to use the internet to the students benefit and hopefully move them away from traditionally teaching.

That's great. Congratulations. I think a make-your-own-wiki workshop is a great way to get people excited about using this technology. With technology-reluctant people, personal applications (eportfolios, wikis for their own workshops, even hobby-oriented stuff, etc.) are very engaging.

Hola Lisa!
I'm just getting started using wikis in my Spanish classroom & you have given me some great ideas! Thanks for sharing your wiki & your student's wiki with us.
