Background
In short, I'm a very ordinary language teacher turned into something like a networking evangelist:) I believe there is an enormous potential in openness and sharing; it's strange but the more you share, the more you tend to get - that's 'win-win' for sure.
Thanks to the international work at our school - often through EU eTwinning - I've been lucky to meet and work together with colleagues from many different countries. Pretty often I get emails from teachers who would like to establish new contacts in the Nordic area and because I just can't join all these great projects myself I'm happy to promote educational match making whenever I can.

Derrick Waddell replied to Niilo Alhovaara's discussion Collaboration through Google Docs in the group Google Apps for Education"I was really excited about using Wave in the classroom. It's good to see some of that functionality filtering its way into other Google services."
Angela White replied to Niilo Alhovaara's discussion Collaboration through Google Docs in the group Google Apps for Education"Absolutely. I agree! Google Docs do have some drawbacks, but for the most part they are 100% web, extremely useful and have great user interfaces. I really enjoy working with Google Docs.

Collaboration through Google Docs
Well, now Docs are going social big time it seems - good news for sure! Threaded comments should add quite a lot of punch to what Docs have to offer.
"Interesting discussions here - especially since we're just to get started with a 'pilot' using Google Apps in my school. I have been using many Google offerings pretty much from the beginning but have no Apps experience at all. Will…"
"Hi all, our school in northern Sweden will be part of a pilot study focusing on cloud services and we'll be trying GoogleApps so this apparently is the place to be :) I've been using Google services - both private and at work - since…"

Hello Niilo, Nice photos! Would you mind if I use some of them in a 4th grade descriptive writing unit I'm planning? I would download them and show them to the students who would then base their writing on them. Either way, thanks for sharing them. I enjoyed viewing them very much.
In 1992 I crossed Finnland by bus (together with some other school teachers) on the way to Sweden. I enjoy looking at your photos, they remind me of my trip.
Good luck to you! You seem to do lots of fun things teaching.
