    Hello Terry, it is a small world. I think you worked with our grade 4 and 5 students this year on the es1001tales project and that you may have sat in on my online PD session at the Innovations Showcase. Is that correct?

    Yes... Teaching all content areas to seventh graders has made life interesting... and busy! They're a hard group to engage and entertain...

    You know, we've never talked about video conferencing. To my knowledge, we do not have a camera for the computer in our classroom. However, I'm certain someone does... I mulled over the idea in my mind of having my seventh grade class video chat with my fifth grade class from last semester, discussing junior high, the transition, advice, etc. I haven't gotten that far in my quest, honestly! So, to answer your question-- I don't know!

    Oh- and I wanted you to know that I took your advice and uploaded my IDU from last semester onto curriki. Eventually, I will try to create my own blogspace with all the stuff that I've created and used. I know that other sites that I found like that were very helpful to me! Just wanted to let you know! Thanks!
