We've also done projects with a school in Hong Kong where the children from each classroom posted video blogs with questions and answers in Mandarin and English for each other to see.

We have other projects planned for the future as well, including connecting our school with a school in Brasilia, Brazil and a Neologism project with a Japanese language class in a school in Australia.

Looking for a partner school in the Arabic speaking world for a project involving George Orwell's Animal Farm and Twitter. Send me a message if you want to be a part of it!

I would love to come up with a project. I had to change my bio it was a bit dated, I am currently working with K-5 ESL kids, but that shouldn't stop us. Email me and let;s talk details. Tell me what idea you have. I will be starting new units with all grade in a few weeks, that could be a good time to plan something.

Sorry, I missed you while you were in Doha!

Wow! on a page with Kim Cofino. Tall order indeed :-)

I would love to communicate with folk at your school. Give me some ideas of what you are thinking about. I know that just the conferencing between different parts of the planet is quite eye-opening for staff but even better if you address a clear point of need.

Just to get you thinking, I have a interactive whiteboard in the office and I have used it to connect classrooms in Hong Kong and Australia in the past. It opens up lots of possibilities.

Regards

Paul

I'd love to collaborate! One project that will be getting started soon for both ES and MS students is the 1001 Flat World Tales project. I manage the elementary school division. Check here for last year's projects: http://es1001tales.wikispaces.com/

Yes there is. It's called Khanjar (dagger). If you google for the word you will find more information about it.

We are now in Doha airport going back home.

My regards to your wife.
