Wow, great blog. I love reading blogs about Voice over IP! It’s such an exciting technology. I have learned a lot in implementing a small VoIP network at home, and am thinking of starting VoIP business in my area. There are a number of small businesses in my region that would benefit from it greatly. Thanks again for this blog – it is really great.

I have been telling everyone who will listen what a neat project this was! I wish I had had my camera hooked up. Thanks for letting me participate!

Hey Dean. It was fun to drop in on you and your class this morning. It was so powerful for me to be able to see the kids as they were interacting with me. I love the way this kind of networking is shrinking the world. No one is very far from anyone else in the world now. If our kids grasp the reality that we are all neighbours, they’ve learned something truly important! Technology has such tremendous potential for helping to break down all kinds of walls and barriers. –Paul

Truly enjoyed the experience! Of all the activities and lessons that my students completed, they were always MOST engaged when we were collaborating with students from other places. Think of the skills being built with activities like this – multiple literacies, geography, language skills, cultural skills, the list can go on. Great stuff! Hopefully the students can connect with other students in meaningful ways. The map is great! It really helps to visually place people on a map. Good luck with the rest of the project!
