Global SchoolNet
Wow, I think I may have found a place(Web site) where my students can collaborate together with students from other countries and the site is not blocked!! It is called Global SchoolNet and it is "linking kids around the world" by promoting engagement between teachers and students from other countries through the development of projects and exchanging ideas.

Bonnie-
that's a great site that you found! In our class discussions about culture and our lesson plan critiques I've brought up blogging and collaborating with students in other countries up. I think it's such a great idea, especially when working with minority students and allowing students become excited about working and embracing other cultures. Someone in my group said that working with students in other countries would be tough...thanks for giving me a resource to prove them wrong!

Bonnie, Sounds like a great idea to me. No - I know its a great idea. Imagine Spansh language student blogging with children in Spanish speaking countries. Language would become real, rather than some dry exersize. Thanks, Robert
What better way to make our students global learners than by allowing them to collaborate globally! I think that this is a great find. I would love to hear how your project turns out!
I love the Internet Projects Registry. What a great way to connect.
