To Mrs. T's Talented Texans...
Your writing is fabulous - I loved reading it!
I am a 4th grade teacher in Pennsylvania and I am very impressed. I can't wait to share your blog with my students.
Keep up the great work!

Look into storybird.com. We are just starting to use the site and there a some glitches and shortcoming in the beta version but it works exactly like you suggested. The kids would be paired (only 2 in a group) with another writer and the story moves…

I was thinking that maybe our students could collaborate and write a story, poem, play, etc. online. We could branch them into groups and maybe one day one of my students submit a part of the story, then the next time your student adds to the story,…

Your site is working now. Our new security filter our district now uses has been a real pain this year. You never know if things will work or not.

Aaron, I am surprised A Really Different Place is blocked since there is no indication in the URL that it is it a blog. Will your district unblock appropriate sites? We went through this will our district four years ago but now very few things are…

Thanks, the calendar is a good idea for prompts. We also use appropriate RSS feed for kids (left hand colum) and creative writing prompts (right hand column).

Your blog is blocked at my school, but I will be sure to check it out when I get home. Would you want to do some sort of online collaboration? I have 16 gifted 4th graders who are dying to work with another class.

Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!
That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.
Do you mind passing my message along to students and your colleagues again?
Thanks,
Jack
