Hi Garry, thanks for the friend request - it's a pleasure to accept it. Regarding social networks in the classroom, I'm having a go at engaging my class of apprentices in Ning.

Hi Garry, Interested in your use of Pageflakes for the ICT Pacesetters and exploration of Web2.0 tools in the classroom. Do you have issues with filtering/blocking of many of the sites in your school?

The 6^th graders at Chichester Central School in Chichester, New Hampshire (USA), would like to invite you to participate in our blog.  We have created a blog, which we hope will allow us to explore varying diets from around the world.  Our goal is to understand what other country’s diets consist of and what they consider to be healthy.  Here in New Hampshire, we eat a lot of seafood and lobsters as we are so close to the Atlantic Ocean.  We also grow and eat fresh corn, apples, strawberries, blueberries and even pumpkins.  If you are interested, please visit our blog at cgagnon.edublogs.org and respond to the “World Diets” page.  If you respond, it would be helpful if you could include which country or area of the world you are responding from.  If you are not interested, it would be much appreciated if you could pass this along to a friend or colleague that may be. 

We here in New Hampshire look forward to your response.  Thanks

-Chris Gagnon – 6^th grade teacher
