Hi Anne
I teach sixth grade, too (in Massachusetts, USA) and last year, I started up a Youth Radio podcasting site for upper elementary school students to share podcasting. We are about to get things going again this year. Might you be interested in including your sixth graders? (I refer to your post on the podcasting forum)
Here is the Youth Radio site: http://youthradio.wordpress.com/

Take care

IT'S EXCITING TO KNOW YOUR FRIENDS WHO TEACH CHINESE IN REMOTE AREA . FEEL AT EASE TO INTRODUCE THEM FOR ME , THEN WE WILL HAVE MORE TOPIC TO TALK ABOUT.

Hi Anne, I'm ready, why don't you email me your first question - yes/no about where we are, I'm thinking northern or southern hemisphere type then narrowing down. I'm going to use Google Earth to help us plot the answers you give us. Send me your email and I'll send our first question. Thanks for participating with me. I think it could be fun! Alison

Hi Jacinta, I am looking for middle school students (classroom) to collaborate on a joint "20 question" project, each class sending messages on a wiki to each other- sharing something about where they live, how they live, their lives and friends, photos, video and cumulate by having the other class make a guess as to where the class is from. Any contacts or ideas for me? Thanks! Alison Denver Colorado US

Hi Anne, thanks for commenting on my I teach your students - you teach mine -idea. It really is just an idea at the moment, for my students the biggest problem would be dealing with English. However maybe you and JoNelle - who also answered might be able to work out something together :-)

I'll put my class on a Wiki today or tomorrow, I'm through 6 of 8 lessons so far for you to see and add comments if you have any. I like the apps you are using and have used a few others with my college students. I'll let you know when I have them up. Alison

Hi Anne, I'm happy to meet you and find that you are also a bit of a beginner to Web 2.0. I came across it last Jan/Feb while preparing a presentation on Podcasting for librarians. I love it and am working my way through a Blackboard professional development class for our distruct this summer. I get so sidetracked while writing as I continue to find more interesting things. I'd be happy to share what works and what kids like as I start to use it with my students this fall. Lets keep in touch. Alison

Hi Anne, nice to meet you.
