I am an English teacher from Israel and I would like to invite your students to represent their country in our "Green School project". For further information please ,email me.
We are looking for 20 more classes to make and exchange letters!
Here’s a quick summary: * You will create 26 of your assigned lowercase alphabet letter. * Your students will decorate your letters with pictures, decorations, etc that begin with your assigned letter. * Type up a paragraph or two about your area. * Mail your letters to the participating classes by October 1st. * You’ll have an alphabet of letters from your friends across the country!! This is a great way to reinforce the learning of the alphabet and a lesson in geography as well.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SIGNING UP for 2010-2011, please respond to this message and I will send you an e-mail asking for your name, grade you teach and mailing address. I look forward to hearing from you:) Carole

In September or October of 201...See MoreThis past school year I participated in a successful leaf exchange. I also particiated in a very successful postcard exchange. I have decided to take charge and organize both projects this year. I have some of my postcard participants participating in both projects.
What is a leaf exchange project?
In September or October of 2010, you will collect leaves from an assigned, yet chosen, tree. You will need to press the leaves for about a week and then glue them onto a 5x5 piece of cardstock which is labeled with the leaf's name and state the leaf is from. It also MUST be laminated. I found many facts about the leaf my class chose and printed and glued the pictures/information on the back of the cardstock. (This was optional) You will need to make a leaf card for each participant and pay for postage when mailing them. I found that greeting card sized envelopes found in the school supplies section/letter mailing section at Wal- mart worked great when mailing the leaf cards.(Between 30- 40 participants, hopefully.)
Once I get the number of participants I'd like to have, I will be emailing everyone. In that email, the participants must list their top three tree choices. I will do my best to give first choices, but I don't want duplicates if possible. It will be a first come first serve basis.
If you are a serious participator, please email me your full name, grade, school name and school address as well as your email address. If you do not want me sharing your email address, please specify, otherwise I will assume it's okay to share with the other participants. I like to share email addresses in case a classroom has a specific question about your leaf.
I'd like to have multiple states represented, but am not against multiple participants from each state either as long as different leaves are represented.
On 9/02/1...See MoreI would love to join the postcard and/or leaf exchange. I know I'm a bit late but please let me know.
I teach technology at my elementary school, so I would like my 4th graders involved with the postcard and 1st with the leaf exchange.
The address is 415 Highland Drive, Eden, NC 27288
Please contact me.

The project will provide educators with a simple and secure ICT environment to use in their work and in their classes.
The project will build a simple web site and a set of the most popular tools (Wikis, Blogs, communications, Social Networking etc.) with clear guides on: • How to use the tools • How they can be employed in education
The project will also look at other Web 2.0 tools that can be used to create content, share the content and communicate.
Helping the project The project team are now looking for the help of other educators in finding Web 2.0 tools and resources that are of use in education. We will need to know some details about the tool and a brief description of how you are using it in your work.
We have provided a template that you can use on the project website at: [link removed]
We would also be grateful for any further contributions you may have – like a web posting, blog, video etc.
All contributors will receive a 'Certificate of Contribution' to our project to help your professional development.
You can also sign up for updates on the project progress.
Thank you for your help and interest.
Best wishes
Prof. Thomas Connolly Coordinator Web 2.0 ERC EU project University of the West of Scotland
