Hi Kris,
I would love to collaborate with you. I have already committed to two other groups, but would like for you to join us if you're interested. Have you joined the ning for Elementary Teachers? You need to do that first and then you can see our…
Hi Betsye,
Awesome! I have no idea how to begin, but I'd love to collaborate with your class! I have sent messages to several people asking for info, but haven't heard anything yet.
Where are you located?
We are in a small town called Spindale, in w…
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?

Give me a couple of days to wrap up some things from the past year. Then I'll be ready to think about the future -- Plus Barbara will be back in school then.

Finally I think I am on the right track. I didn't realize the Ning was different from the main site and that I had to join that as well. I have done that and are wiating approval. Once that comes through I should be able to join Primary Education group -- I hope. I'll keep you posted. Then we should be able to go forward.

- Thanks, Mary,
I'll keep trying. I did send a message to Julie, but haven't received a reply yet. Thanks for including me in the searches you are responding to. Somehow it will work out. Am looking forward to getting a project going with you and know my co-worker will too.

- I got to an orange page wih a list of groups down the left side, clicked on Primary Educators and got to the group's page -- 21 members, is this the right one? Still can't find any place on the right or elsewhere to join? What am I missing?
I haven't even had time to check out your other suggestion, but looks as if you are making progress. My 5h grade teacher comes back next week and I can't wait to run through the possibilities with her.
Where is The Flat Classroom for Dummies when I need it :-)

- Hi Mary
Thanks for making contact. Can I suggest you also join the educators Ning at http://flatclassrooms.ning.com/ where you can hook up with teachers of the same levels etc.
We currently do not run a project at the Grade 5 level, however we are very keen to support you with what you need. At NECC recently there was an active Birds of a Feather session for teachers of that level.....I will look up the responses and share with you...currently in NYC taking a break and doing some sightseeing.
