Janet, thanks so much for replying.
I'm writing an article this week for Teaching Tolerance (a publication of the Southern Poverty Law Center) on ways that teachers are using social-networking tools to promote tolerance and social justice. The program you're involved in sounds like a great one to describe. In addition, part of this story is the blocking of a lot of these tools by school districts -- and how some teachers have gotten around that. Your thoughts on how these tools contribute to collaborative learning would also be very valuable. And Skype -- yes -- that's another tool we can include.
If you'd be interested in being part of this story, I can be reached at koenigeducation@verizon.net. Thank you!

EVERY educator should learn about Teaching Tolerance. I've subscribed to it for years before it also went online. Have used many of the activities with students and recommend everyone become aware of this publication!
Will contact you via email.

Hi ,
My name is Carolyn. I am new to this group and to the world of PLN. After joining two other groups, I'm thrilled with all the information available, yet a little overwhelmed. I'm excited about interfacing with this group. I'm a seventh grade intervention specialist, and always trying to find innovative ways to engage my learners. I look forward to our communications.

Hi Carolyn,
It is Marsha from Israel and very nice to meet you, I too am excited about meeting people.Would love to get to know you and invite you to join in our Globaldreamers project. Teachers can choose what is good for them and I can put you on our email list.
I have been implementing our project since 1992 and it is a great project.
I believe in the power of the Internet and making our classrooms borderless.
Hope to hear from you soon .

Hi,
I am Ton Giordano, a high school business teacher from Maryland. I am interested in Web 2.0 tools and plan to use wikis in my classes in the fall. I'd like to hear what other high school business teachers are doing to incorporate Web 2.0 tools.

Hello,
I'm Nathan, a 19 year old undergrad student at the University of Washington. For the summer I'm working as a research assistant at NAC Architecture, an architecture firm in the northwestern united states. I am researching the use of web tools in education and the implication they have on the design of educational buildings in the next decade. I'm interested to learn how educators use the tools provided by web 2.0 and how they adapt them to the classroom setting.

hello. I am a new teacher and will be teaching fifth grade in the Fall. I am a career changer who stayed at home with my children for about 10 years and then substituted while obtaining my masters in teaching. My background is in the computer industry, but way before all of these "web 2.0" developments -- I have just learned the words "moodle" and "ning" :) As a new teacher, my main goal at this point is to learn how to utilize these tools with my students.
