I’ve posted before about our Sister Classes Project, where classes of Intermediate English Language Learners ranging from the early teens to the early twenties have exchanged presentations (VoiceThreads, slideshows, etc.) and comments at our Student Showcase blog. We have teachers from seven countries who participated this semester.
It’s been fairly low-key, hasn’t taken up an enormous amount of time and been a great experience for students and teachers alike.
It looks like we’ll be starting-up again in the fall, and we’ll be open to additional classes joining us. Let me know if you might be interested.

Hi Larry
I have been reading and learning a lot through all you postings.
I work with highschoolers in Mexico city and am interested in joining a sister class project for next Fall.
My students are between 15 an 17 . They love technology. We have a self-access center where my students can use computers to work on their projects.
If it is posssible let me know.
Thanks
