Hi Purti,
That sounds great! I know the festival of "Makar Sankranti" is coming soon and we are very excited to learn about it. Will it be possible for you to take pictures or videos of the kites flying, and also some pictures of your students with…
I guess the pertinent thing is to discuss at the beginning of the year. If the enthusiasm exists there must be possibilities.

Some quickie possibilities
We have joined epals and have are communicating with 2 groups of classrooms.
Also, my students all have email accounts with our school division.
I want all my students to have Google Accounts. We aren't quite there yet but some have them.
It has been pretty goofy here for time too. Just when you think things are "under control" three more things happen!
My class haas a blog http://www.haffordgrade5and6.blogspot.com/
On it, I've got a link to Podomatic with some of the podcasts we did last year. I've also got some examples of slideshows we did with Animoto (I got a free school account) using our pictures and quotes from Twelfth Night. We've also experimented with Voicethread with mixed success.
I'm pretty open to experimentation (I'm hoping that the staff this year is as blissfully ignorant of using technology so I can use it as much as I ddi last year!!!)
I once tried setting up a Blogmeister account for my each class, but I really couldn't get it to work as I would have liked. I got frustrated and just went back to Blogger. My class has its own GMail account: hafford5and6@gmail.com. Last year, we started working a bit with Google Docs. I had each of my students sign up for an account (no one said we couldn't) and we did some work with the docs and the slideshows.
I'd like my students to know something of the geography and lifestyles of people in London, as well as just getting to know each other.
Anyhow, I'm babbling. Any thoughts?
Great to hear from you!!!
Classes start for us on August 28.
I'm Pat - I teach grade 5/6 and some technology classes in Hafford SK (unilingual English school with many students of Ukranian heritage). This year in grade 5/6 we study Canada. I'm looking for contacts for my class.
