Hi, all! Susan Quintyne, middle school, Spanish teacher from NY in the mix. I'm looking to collaborate with other Spanish teachers. I love a challenge, and I'm not afraid to take risks.

Hi,
My name is Or-Tal and I am a mother of 3 from Ramat-Gan, a city near Tel-Aviv, in Israel. I am a communications expert working with hitech startups and I am also an entrepreneur in the making, developing my own startup, which relates to education and the web. Looking forward to learning and sharing knowledge.
Susan,
It was encouraging to see your post as I started investigating the 2.0 site. One of my best friends and colleagues teaches Spanish in our program. I co-teach a "Spanish Tech" class where we integrate technology to support Gr 4-6 students in introducing and experiencing Spanish language and culture. I'm sharing the 2.0 site link with her today!
Hi Susan!
I have a private middle and high school in Buenos Aires, Argentina, what age are your kids? Maybe they can exchange in both languages.Un abrazo

Hi Lucia,
We are a k-8 Catholic school in Connecticut. Our Spanish teacher would like to communicate with another class in a Spanish Speaking country, perhaps at the Middle school level. Perhaps written or Skype?
Hi Chris, I am from Australia, but love my membership of this site. It provides wonderful forums, discussions and best of all wonderful friendships. Look forward to seeing your involvement here.
Hello Anne, I've just joined too. I'm a primary teacher librarian in outer south eastern Melbourne, and I'm just learning to play Web 2.0. Where are you?

I am a professional musician working on an Instructional Technology degree while in the process of "giving back" to elementary school students in Harlem. The past few years I've been very interested in global collaborations within the classroom using 2.0 but am not quite sure how to set it up. I've a Ning site up and running ( http://ntoond2.ning.com/ ) but have yet to actually use it for anything more than my grad school class assignments.
I would like also to invite everyone to my site in an effort to better assist my efforts. The main focus is of course music and its shared global accessibilty between classrooms yet I enjoy diverse topics as well. For example, I've a question on my blog concerning the different adages or wise sayings of ones country and what they mean. I've posted the adage "A Stitch in Time Saves Nine".
What sayings are known in your country? Would you mind sharing them with me?
This is all very exciting! I look forward to my work here and on my site to learn more of 2.0, it uses and how better to assist in connecting children musically on an international scale.
