Sorry I have been off grid for so long. There has been complications with the pregnancy. My leave replacement and I were just discussing this and I think Ning could be a great resource for my new Middle school tech classes. I know you are in Elementary school now but let me know if you are still interested in collaborating! Hi Kim!

I have been very disappointed in our local school system for sometime. We are not up to speed from a tech perspective, but at the end of the day it is probably the least of concerns when the school lacks funds for basic curriculum. Perhaps it is my naive existence but there are quite a few things which you talk about that I was completely ignorant of. Thanks to you I am tuning in and learning a lot. And I am getting a lot of great ideas. Thank you! Kim,

This may be a way for them to continue with their web 2.0 experiences as many will not get it next year when they move to secondary school.

I could, though, contact my star bloggers and invite them to jump in with other similar students. This is something I've been thinking about, too. Just as not all teachers are natural writers, collaborators, readers, networkers, neither are all students. So rather than go with an across-the-board global student push, I'm wondering if letting those already so inclined go ahead and set the example, and letting the word (or the example) of their journey open the eyes of their "student 1.0" peers, might not be a place to start. Enjoyed your thoughts, as usual. You really are one of my very favorite writers and thinkers. BTW, I ask again: are you working in high school in Bangkok next year? Yes or no, we still should put our heads together about leading collaboration further out of the computer lab, and penetrating further into the traditional core content area classes. Call me a geek, but I'd love to have discussions along these lines over summer break. I’d love to take you up on it, but don’t see my students any more this year.
