    Hi Deb,
    I would love to connect our classes!
    I am Cristina and I teach in Romania. Currently I am teaching 2nd graders and we inquire into cities around the world, more specifically into system within a city (transportation, sanitation, culture etc).
    We used both Skype and Voicethread so it is up to you which one you would like to use.
    My blog is here http://ateacherswonderings.posterous.com/ and my e-mail is surreallyno@gmail.com.
    I am surreallyno on Twitter. Cheers!

    Hi from Western Australia!

    I'm teaching a Year 6 class for 4 weeks, and would love to connect & share with your class. I'm introducing my students to Glogster, but would be happy to teach them how to contribute to a Voicethread.

    You can contact me via Twitter @mgraffin or my blog http://areliefteachersjourney.blogspot.com

    Hi Deb,

    I am a grade 2 teacher in Ontario, Canada. I would love to connect with your class(maybe blogging buddies) beginning next Fall if you are interested. I will be introducing class blogging and in reading through your posts I see that we have some pretty similar ideas so I think it would be a great match. So far I have a teacher blog and I am developing the class blog. I am on Twitter if you would like more info about me; Username is mmesek
    I look forward to your response.
