    Hello Joel, my welcome from Germany! My focus is on Web 2.0 apps in the classroom - and I´ve created one of the biggest groups on CR 2.0 called DigiSkills with now 454 members about digital teaching methods.
    Please think about to join this group too.

    Hello, I teach seventh grade geography and my students are beginning a unit on Europe focusing on Germany, Russia, Italy, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Would you be interested in communicating with my students through SKYPE to answer questions about your culture and education in London?
