I am a firm believer they should be seemless. I am interested in partnering with you again this year, as last year's 1001tales went wonderful. THe kids loved it!

The interactive nature of blogging is one its most powerful features and our students actively seek out other students to share commenting and posting with (even at this young age). An authentic audience brings out the best in students. Have just landed home from Shanghai. Our plane flight was one of a few not cancelled due to the typhoon which raged SE of HongKong last night. So although late departing and arriving, we made it. However it was a very turbulent flight. So, when my stomach settles, I shall respond more. My grade 4 and 5s would love to be involved and I teach grade 2 this semester as well, so we would enjoy working with your grade 2s. However, there are only about 10 grade 2's, 20 grade 5s and 8 grade 4s. We would love to come on board and share blogging and commenting with you.

An e-mail is on it's way :) @Marama, I wish our calendar and the Australian/NZ calendar matched up - it's such a bummer that our school year is just beginning as yours is almost ending - makes it hard to have a full year collaboration.... @Donna, Perfect! An e-mail is on it's way! @Nancy, Looking forward to working with you and the ASM teachers again this year! @Nick, I tried to send you an e-mail last week, but it bounced back undeliverable - do you have another one I can write to? @Alex, Thanks for sharing your resources. @Lisa, Great!

It is interesting to see how you are working to narrow yet deepen the focus of your collaborations. I also found a similar yearning surface through the collaborations my students and I explored last year. I would be interested in chatting about any of your collaborations that still need partners. Really looking forward to your k12online preso with Jen! Hi Kim,
