Dan, I spoke with the the admin here and they have approved my request to begin a 'Pen Pal' type of project with your students. I have also spoken with a fifth grade SS teacher here at our school and she is very excited to have her students begin corresponding with your students. I willl make contact with the first grade teacher straight away. I have forwarded your contact information to our SS teacher. Her name is Mrs. Hanan.
Hi Dan...
I'm also very excited about this project. I'll be in touch. Can I reach you via Skype, MSN, Yahoo Messenger? About me: Skype:gildsmattos/ MSN:gsilvamattos@hotmail.com/Yahoo: gilmattos2001@yahoo.com
I am not in charge of any one class, so I cannot make any decisions. I will talk to the teachers in charge of each class and see if any would be interested in doing something like this. I will let you know what they decide. I hope they say yes, because this is a great opportunity.
Hi Dan...
Of course - I think it'll be simply great to connect our students, Let's keep in touch and organize everything. We're back into the classroom next Monday and tomorrow I'll know which groups I'll be teaching this semester. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Dan! Thank you for your warm welcome! With regards to your request, I must respectfully decline. Reason being that I see that you teach sixth grade. My students are only first graders. I would love to have my students pen pal with other first grade students. Give them a chance to see first grade writing from a native english speaking perspective. However, I would be willing to speak with our sixth grade SS teacher on your behalf. Would you be willing to do the same for me?
Happy New Year! I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a nationwide Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from South Dakota!
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this classroom20 network is no exception. (I've also sent this out on other Ning networks you may be a part of.) My name is Marco Morales; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you when I searched for middle schools on classroom20, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2008, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975. We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
