I really liked the Flat Classroom link. That would be really neat to collaborate with another classroom somewhere else in the world. It would open up the world to your students and expose them to different cultures, races, and ethnicities. I am not sure how to go about implementing this into my classroom, but am interested in learning more.

[] This website gave some ideas from teachers as to how they are using wikispaces in their classrooms. I liked a lot of the ideas but would have to tweak them to fit my second grade classroom.

I was involved with a Flat Stanley blog or wiki this past school year. We got a flat stanley sent to us from a school in Pittsburg along with a letter. Along with the letter there was a wikispace we could go to and see the class who sent it to us and read all the letters from all the students. We decorated Flat Stanley in our school colors and wrote a letter back to them. We did not get to comment on the wiki because we had to join and I did not allot enough time to do this. Next year I would love to do this again, but this time I would like to take the initiative and create the wiki with my class.

http://educationalwikis.wikispaces.com/ This site gave a list of educational website and linked right to them. They also gave step by step instructions on how to make your own wiki. There were many ideas on how you can implememnt a wiki into your classroom.
