Sounds like the lesson went really well and the kids enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Anne - nice one. I think the personal touch in all this is what makes it wonderful but it's also difficult to bring that to the kids all of the time - we don't have time to build an audience and build a friendship between kids and their readers online so you've used your audience and friendships to show the meaning of it all.

Since she refered your name, I thought I'd try to look up your blog. I really enjoyed the idea that you suggested with the wiki and pictures in Flickr. Although the school that I'm doing my practicum in has access to technology, I don't see it used much other than in the actual computer class. It's great to see ideas such as yours that hopefully I can collect for when I have a classroom of my own! Also, I began to look at your fifth graders' blogs. I have not left many comments yet, but I have enjoyed seeing what they have to say. Yet another great resource to prepare me for my career in education. Thanks! Meg Hi Anne,
