Voices Of The World

2008- 2009 School Year

I will be participating this year, hopefully more reliably than last year. I learned so many neat things from attempting the tasks. I wasn't always successful in getting our work uploaded, but we tried.

I'm eager for the first task to be announced.

Being in Australia I can only participate until the November topic and then will start again with my new class in the new school year next Feburary..; ▶ Reply to This

Thanks Sharon for all the work you put into VOTW.

Being part of this project not only opened the kids (and I) up to the world of Web2 tools...it opened us up to the 'world'...and that's what makes projects like this so powerful.

Thanks Sharon for being the 'connector'!

I will be able to join in the fun up until December this year, then start again with my new class from February 2009. I really look forward to being able to be involved right from the start as last time we only got to join in towards the end.; ▶ Reply to This

Where do you make your little avatars? I like the backgrounds and the full body views.

Thanks,
