Re: Students 2.0

One of the students is from m school so I can tell you that the student
bloggers are excited and have worked hard to think this through. They have
been skyping and twittering with each other as well as with Clay Burell,
the teacher who organized this. The teacher is from Korea. It has been fun
to watch and I can't wait to read their posts.

If you check the del.icio.us bookmark site, you will find them a top hit
tonight. If you have a del.icio.us account, I'm sure these kids would love
to have you bookmark their site and then revisit and comment often!
