Jack,

As an aside, I used to live in…
Monika,
Collaborating via the net, and in general, is new to me and I'm sure to my students, too. I've been teaching since 2003 (mid-life career change from free-lance ghost writer to teaching). However, I can see the positive aspects of…
I visited new School a few minutes ago; I'm impressed with the quality of the site as well as the content. I look forward to using information from the site and hopefully collaborating with others and my students.
Vimeo is also blocked at my school. How is it that the classroom teacher understands the pertinence and importance of such sites as Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook, but the admin is about two years behind the learning curve?
Thank you Jerry. I have indeed gone that route, we;ll see it anything comes of it. I'm a tad cynical, however. But it worked for you so maybe there's hope for me, too.
Dr. Oates,
I'm interesting in such a project. I live in Rocksprings, TX (pop. under 1300) which is a rural area. The majority of my students are Hispanic. I teach journalism, theater arts, reading, sophomore ELA, and yearbook.

My wife and I moved to Rocksprings this past summer. We live on an 800-acre ranch which she inherited when her folks passed away some years ago. In 2002 I graduated from Metropolitan State College of Denver with a BA in English. In 2006 I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with an M.Ed. degree. this coming year I will have been a teacher for 8 years.
thank you. You seem to have visited the most significant sites in Istanbul. I lived there for six months and it was really wonderful. Now I live in a city in the Black-sea region called KARABUK, but you might recall the name Safranbolu, one of the world heritage cities, with it's old structures. I have a job at the university of KARABUK. thanks again for the welcome.
