I don't know if you have ever collaborated with other schools, nor if you desire to, but I'm starting to think that connecting my class with another A.C. class might be beneficial.

If this sounds like it might be a decent idea, feel free to let me know. Thanks!

Just thought I would leave a note. Whether you ever see it I don't know. But I am using the outside discussion forum just the same

Students must realize that the blog is to be used in the capacity of learning and not for social purposes. Before engaging in blog use it is pertinent that educators check with school administration for their policy on blog use, and ensure the blog site used is as secure as it can be, parents should also be made aware of the teachers intentions.
