"The prep/one classroom teachers have asked me whether any of you would be interested in a toy exchange in addition to this project? Please leave a reply and we will work further on it, if you are interested."

"I like the suggestions by Karen and would feel really comfortable going with these. I am not sure whether I will be able to have 5 students for each group though, but I guess I just work with the numbers I can get.

- Interest in Flat Classrooms
- Have been a member of the sounding board for the flathorizon project and flat classroom project 2008 and have found both my students and myself (and then parents of these students) were empowered with learning outcomes that have to be experienced to understand the depth of these outcomes. I will also attend the flatclassroomconference in 2009 in Qatar.

Assess: Challenge #9
The assessment process on a collaborative wiki has to be tailored to the project given. The assessment criteria needs to be reconsidered each time a collaborative wiki project is undertaken as the projects, procedures and outcomes may be different.
