We are primarily using Blogs and VoiceThread. We are beginning to use Google
Apps for Education for collaborative documents, forms, and Custom Search.

In the Lower School, we open some of it up for the world, and some is built
behind a walled garden.

Our 1st Grade blogs and skypes with other classes during its Community Unit.
Our third grade publishes podcasts and VoiceThreads to the larger community.
Our fifth grade shares its documentaries in the spring. We will be sharing
our Google Sketchup/Google Earth Mayan Village creations this winter.

Depends on the project. Some are walled gardens that we want to build
community. Some are open for exchanges and use by parents and classes around
the world.

We do use some of these tools (Twitter) for use by faculty, but not with
students yet. Most are not 13.
