Hi Mary, I am new to this site as well, but think my 5th graders would be interested in participating in a flat classroom project and collaborating with your class. Any idea how we would begin? Betsye Sargent

Don't worry, I'm not good at this, either, but we WILL get a project going..it might take a week or two.
One suggestion: send a message to Julie Lindsay, she can help more than I can! Good luck!

At 1:57pm on July 10, 2009, Mary Freeman said…: Glad to be your friend. I have joined the Primary Educators site and replied to a post about a global collaboration project. I asked if we could join that group. Go to that site and you can check it out and see what you think. Let me know if it sounds like something you'd like to do.
Mary :)

I just received a response from Julie Lindsay, telling me to go to
http:flatclassroomproject.ning.com and join the educators site (on left hand side, the link for Primary). I just joined and am waiting to be approved. I posted a comment asking for help.
I think you should do the same and we'll see what happens.
