About Me: I am founding a new startup these days - www.tutorra.com - it's a game where kids in elementary school (mainly grades 3-6) can trade knowledge, create and share, and rediscover not only the joy in curiosity but their natural learning abilities.

I am active on many social network, mainly twitter and facebook, to help build relationship with more education innovators from around the world.

You can often find my on twitter, esecially during the #edchat (every Tuesday).

Hi Or-Tal, I am Anne from Australia. I teach IT to grades 4-10 and wish to keep in touch via classroom20.com I joined about 9 months ago and it has been a fabulous resource for me and I have gone from strength to strength with web2.0 and its usage in the classroom. I have used global projects in the classroom because of it as well. cr2.0 is one year old today!

Hi Or-Tal and I would love to visit Israel one day as well. You will enjoy discovering all the things that this site has to offer and do come to Australia. I love our country and the freedom that we have. There are so many different geographical regions as well. I live on a farm in SW Victoria and teach at our local school

Hi Or-Tal. I thought the networking-homeworking network is a very interesting idea! I hope it catches on and creates a real community of students truly collaborating. If you need any help in Portuguese, feel free to ask! :-)

Hi!
Thanks for contacting me. What exactly do you need? I think your idea, if you can make it work, is a very interesting one.
So if you could detail how can I help, I would be very willing to help you.

Hi,

I like your idea although next school year I won't have any classes where I will teach portuguese (only History and ICT). So, please tell me how you think I can help you. Anyway I can pass you request for collaboration to other teachers at my school which is located in Setúbal (a small town about 4oKms south of Lisbon).

My school has students from the 5th to the 9th grade. I don't know what I will teach next year but probably I will have a fifth grade History class, a seventh grade History class (I hope so...) and ICT and I will also probably continue to be the person responsible for the school's ICT.

OK, forgot one thing. All the stundents in my school have english as a foreign language but they probably won't be able to participate very actively in the 5th grade (even with the help of the english teacher). But will talk with some of the english teachers and we will study how to participate in your project.

I teach 7th. We've started building similar lists with our English and Science teachers. I'll be interested to see how it goes.

Hi
I reflected on my reply to your games in education thread shortly after posting and found my writing to be overly argumentative. Hence the deletion. Too much arguing using in-game chat maybe. :D

I'll try giving it another shot today.
