What interesting projects! I love your "about me" section--we are into some of the same things--bring the real world into the classroom, look at issues...Keep me informed! Maybe we'll join up some kids for projects.

Slideshare is great. if you have problems with it, or it is blocked in your school, try http://www.authorstream.com/
Re Elanguages, I've been using and piloting it for the last couple of years. It is a great site. If you'd like to see what sort of projects we've done on it go to http://www.elanguages.org/view_pagecontent.php?resourceid=2215#1
and

It is a great site for schools to etwin with once they have a partner.
Did you know that there is an etwinning ning site? Go to http://etwinningambassadors.ning.com and request an invite.
Hope this helps
