Our school used Snapfish for that purpose for the first time last year. The parents loved it! Many of them downloaded photos and ordered prints. I added most of the photos last year, but I'm going to encourage this year's parents to share…

Carrie, I am knew to Skype and would love my third graders to experience another part of our country. We are from Atlantic, Iowa, a town of 7,500 an hour west of
Des moines. Let me know if this would work for you. My email address is nwhite@atlantic.k12.ia.us
Thanks, Nancy White
Sounds great! Thanks for the suggestions. What blog site did you use to set up your student blog pages? I have started my own blog page but wondered what to use to set up student blog pages?
I am also a third grade teacher. I spent last year exploring podcasting, blogging and wikis. I am really looking forward to working with these as well as Skype in the coming year. If you are interested in linking up, let me know.

I am also a 3rd grade teacher in Iowa and my students are just starting blogging this year. My students have also done podcasting and we are going to try and pull in videocasting this year. Any suggestions on getting started with blogging? Also. . .tell me more about your evening book clubs and what program you went through. Sounds wonderful! If you are still looking for collaboration groups across the US, we'd love to give it a try. We are just starting with "skyping".
