I am part of a team that has developed a new tool called <a href="http://comapping.com" rel="nofollow">comapping.com</a>. One primary focus for us is education and we have done a number of test with students from college to primary school students with our software. We are currently running a study with a large high school here in Denmark and the result so far has been very promising. I would be grateful if you could look at it and let me know what you think.

We have our own intranet and website that has been developed over the years for communication, quizzes, streaming video, and content . It has served us well. The question is how can we integrate some of the new web read/write platforms out there (for example the ones listed above) into our program. Will they simply have to remain separate for now? Or will we eventually have to go to something new? I don't know. It will be a learning experience for us all. Thanks Wes.

If you know of other places that are good for collaboration networking I'd love to know about them. You are so right, connections are key. I think repeated connections between students in different classrooms over the year, via asynchronous tools like blogs and digital storytelling technologies as well as live technologies like videoconferencing can really raise the engagement levels of students-- especially if they are invited and challenged to share the teaching responsibilities. Good luck as you strive to help your learners make more connections and build community! John: Are you using ePals or the CILC to connect with other classroom teachers for project collaborations?
