Hi everybody! I am a teacher of English in Buenos
Aires, Argentina. I teach 5th form (10-year-olds) in a
bilingual primary school (Spanish-English). I would
love to connect my class with classes from around
the world, via Hangouts, virtual field trips, or any
other possibility you can offer. We had our first
experience with a "Mystery Hangout" today, and it
was amazing! Michelle Carlson Colte:
HI! Our 4th grade class is looking to
connect with a class who lives near an
active volcano. We'd like to connect via
Google Hangouts and/or collaborative
docs.
Hi Teachers! We're lucky enough to have Tim Chartier,
the expert on mathematics when it comes to the NCAA

lesson! Think fractions, geometry, and all-things
basketball.
