Good morning.....calling all teachers, students, colleagues, etc...

I sincerely apologize if any of you are receiving this message more than once. We are trying to reach as many teachers/students as possible around the world. It's possible that you're a member of more than one of the groups I have joined. My apologies!

My name is Rossel Mulaire. I am a Canadian teacher who has been living and working in Monterrey, Mexico since 2004. For the past two years, I have been teaching 8th and 9th grade Social Studies/World History. My other responsibilities include being our school's Model United Nation's advisor and Social Studies Department Head. I have taught many different grade levels (first through tenth grades), in Canada, South Korea, and Mexico.

I recently started a little project on Twitter with my 8th and 9th graders, tweeting daily about historical facts and events, sort of like a "this day in history". We are wondering if you'd be able to give out our twitter address to students and teachers. Not only wherever you find yourselves now, but anywhere else you may have contacts. We see this as a great way to teach and appreciate history, bit by bit, one small step at a time. We are trying to use technology to reach more students, and to open dialogue with students and teachers around the world.

If you are in a position to help us, please do so by JOINING US ON TWITTER and by sending our twitter address to students and colleagues, past and present. Ask them to follow our many daily tweets. At the moment, we are tweeting about historical events and facts from around the world. We'd love to see students commenting on our tweets, and also, by adding to our project by posting historical content from their respected countries.

We are hoping to hear from teachers and students from all  parts of the world! The students are keeping a record of the various countries following us! Please help out by following us. The more people (students, teachers, family members, etc) we have following us, the more excited the students get. This excitement then becomes a motivator to continue! Help us make learning about history a little more interesting!

Our  twitter address is: www.twitter.com/rosselmulaire

Please feel free to contact me anytime. I'd be happy to answer any questions or doubt you may have.

The fifth grade at our school studies all 50 states. We have at least two teachers who are willing to use Skype (it's easier than our tandberg system) to have the students exchange information about the climate and cultures of their states. We are North Carolina (East Coast). If you want to be a part of this connection, let me know and we can get some tentative dates down. I know one teacher goes in Alphabetical order :).

Also, our fourth graders study North Carolina. If there are any other North Carolina schools interested in Skyping, we'd love to do all 100 counties!

I am a district director of curriculum and innovation. Our classrooms have access to Skype, Tokbox and high schools have virtual streaming rooms. Would love to hook up with other classrooms. We're rural, small district - any topic and grade is wide open.

I teach a Tech Academy who is working on a service learning project about natural disasters. We are looking to connect with a school that has been through a natural disaster. Our students would like to learn about the experience as well as raise money/food/supplies for those in need.

OK. I have a 6th grade teacher who is interested in collaborating on a history project. Possible topics- Egypt, Greece, Rome, China or Western Europe. Everything is kind of general at the moment, but at least I have someone psyched. Any takers? We can work out all of the curricular ideas and technical stuff way in advance of course.

I would like to make connections for video conferencing as well. I teach Senior English but want to get all of the teachers in my building on-board with video conferencing. We have a really nice video conferencing room - Polycomm system with two cameras. Looking to make some connections!
