I am interested also. I am at a K-5 school. We were pen pals last year (the old fashioned kind--writing letters) with a group of students in Sweden. It was great fun. I hope some lasting friendships were made. The children were very excited with this project. Please keep me informed as well.

We are also an IB school and I think it would be great for our students to connect with other students around the country and the world. What a great experience for them!

We are an International Baccalaureate World School with *"aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect".* An international "Open Mic" creates an environment for some great intercultural understanding! *PLEASE* share all of your ongoing experiences on the LM-NET with this idea (the good and the bad).
