    Hi Peter
    of course I remember you!!
    The honest truth is, life has been particularly stresssful for me for the last couple of months due to serious illness in my family so I can forgive anything at the moment - and with Christmas productions and stuff, we hadn't noticed anything!!
    I'm working on a Skype number - will let you know.

    Happy New Year, Lisa xx

    Hi Peter -- I'd like to invite you to join a Classroom 2.0 group called Canadians Mashup. I'm trying to build a network of Canadian educators and bloggers. No discussions yet. I'm just starting out by trying to find where everyone lives and what they teach. If you're interested, please add me as a colleague as well.

    If you add yourself to the map, please include a name or a photo of some sort. There seem to be a lot of unidentified people from unidentified places and the map is getting stuck on for some reason. The problem is that I can't tell from the members’ list which anonymous hits are real people and which were just false starts. The company does not differentiate members unless there is a picture or a name. Location only is not enough to help me know which entries are not real ones. THANKS!!!!

    My family here in BC just did a Voicethread as a Christmas present for my Mum in Australia. It was great fun!

    Hi! I also teach kindergarten! Two ideas... 1. Twitter Pen Pals: When school starts (mid-Aug. here) we could create classroom twitter accounts and our classes could follow each other and read the tweets we send and send tweets to each other. I just saw a video of a kindergarten class at The Meridian School that tweeted to parents at the end of each day. 2. We could mid-year, video Skype a conference between the classes and our students could introduce themselves and share a picture they made about a story both classes read that month. Our campus will be using Skype next year, but I'd need to get parent/admin. to approve first, for both ideas, but it is a thought.
