You and me both - until they get some audio into 2nd life, I find it very frustrating trying to find discussions to join in with - without looking a bit like a stalker just standing around - it makes me feel uneasy!!!!
I much prefer Skype and video conferencing f2f over the net...

At 5:14am on July 7, 2007, Connie Weber said…: I reposted your question about "modifying online work" within a forum entitled "making meaning--considering assessment" (a spin off from the earlier "making meaning" that you also participated in.) Hope that's ok. Just thought your question was so good that lots of people should have access to it!

At 11:03am on July 5, 2007, Jo Rhys-Jones said…: Great news - for the book day I will start thinking and try to get some ideas together in the next few days - will pass on my full school details to you too asap so you know who we are!

At 5:16am on July 5, 2007, Jo Rhys-Jones said…: Thanks Lisa - would love to collaborate with you if your school decide they are interested. We have now got a French and a Greek school on board too - let me know what you decide. Jo

Sorry I missed you this weekend. Maybe we can talk Monday night around 7:00. I will make sure I'm on Skype around this time. I can't wait to speak with you.

At 8:10am on July 1, 2007, Hilding Lindquist said…: Hi Lisa,
Thanks for inviting me!

Though retired, I have a continuing collaboration with the Physics Department of a NYC area university. Prior to our current outreach program, we developed a portable met tower (meteorological) for deployment to schools for students to learn how to collect scientific data. The met tower is now sitting in a garage ... unused. (hint, hint). I think I could get one or two grad students to help set it up ... somewhere. Can't promise anything, but would be willing to try. By the way, the Chair of Department will vouch for me ... he's been the PI on most of this stuff.

Also, I would be willing to explore collaboration on projects via the internet. I'm a novice ... but I make a good go-fer.

Best,
Hilding

Love me XXOO

At 5:52pm on May 19, 2007, Lisa Parisi said…: Love, love, love it! In fact, I have been checking periodically today (Saturday) and have found that the students have been using it all day. My kids have made connections with other kids around the country, I have connected with other teachers, and the kids are writing on the weekends! What more could I ask for?

At 3:02pm on May 19, 2007, Kevin H. said…: I'm curious about how well Blogmeister works for you?
Can you give me any feedback?
Thanks
Kevin

At 7:43pm on May 9, 2007, Lisa Parisi said…: Thanks, Sue, for looking at our blogs. Enjoy Ellis Island. Our visit was just a simulation in school. Each child got a role as either a processor or an immigrant in 1900. The kids had a blast and loved blogging about it!

At 6:53pm on May 9, 2007, Sue R. said…: Welcome! I (quickly) checked out your blog site and loved the Ellis Island references--all of our K-8 students went to Ellis as a culminating field trip last year (it will come up again in two years, due to the way we rotate our multiage classrooms (Intermediate grade 3-5 students especially!). I can only hope we can avoid the standing in line for the ferry during a torential downpour for an hour next time...

I will be back to look more thoroughly at your blog before then, I hope, but I've been rather overbooked lately.

I didn't want to miss the chance to welcome you, though, and to let you know that I really appreciated your contribution to the "Technology Trickle" thread. I really think many of our young ones are jumping into web experiences, to the extent that some 2d graders are way more experienced than some middle schoolers at moving an avatar through a maze (Sweet tarts, Timez Attack, etc.)! I'm still seeing a really troubling access divide, though.

At 6:01pm on May 9, 2007, Lisa Parisi said…: Hi Everyone,
This site is fairly new to me. I'm also new to social networking but am excited to be part of it all.

I teach fifth grade in a collaborative classroom...mostly regular ed, some special ed children included with a full time special ed teacher as my co-teaching partner.

We are looking to hook up with classrooms for next year. We study Canada and Latin America and would love to find connections in those areas in particular but would also love partners in other parts of the country (USA) or world. We are trying to have our students recognize their global importance and first need to have them recognize their part in a global community.
Writing partners, blogging buddies, video conferencing friends, etc. would all be wonderful.

Any takers?
