Welcome Ammar... I created a Ning for gifted kids last summer (grades 8,9, &10). It's time consuming on the front end. but worth the effort. My students had fun with all of the gadgets and apps, but they also had some great discussions.
I'd love to know what novels, poetry and/or short stories you teach if you have a chance to list some. I know it's not exactly a classroom 2.0 type question, but I love finding out about world literature and what people are teaching in other countries. It's great for our students to know too.
With your interest in Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.
