Working & learning from others around the world

This year I have had a wonderful time with my students building online communities. Teaching 200 students each week and using one blog interface with them has made me feel like I have my own little online world at
http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=97161.
For me, the advantage of using the classblogmeister community is that I have become part of a dynamic group of worldly online teachers where we share ideas, visit each others blogs and are invited to global projects.

My new project uses wikis, it is called the 4corners wiki project and involves schools from Canada, New Zealand and
Portugal. I have never really used a wiki for a global classroom project and I really love it the whole concept of wikis and their dynamic nature. The students use the project wiki at:

http://thefourcornersclassroom.wikispaces.com/ and the teachers communicate via the wiki at:

http://thefourcornersstaffroom.wikispaces.com/

First students introduce their country as a pre project then they choose a global issue  to discuss.
