The 2006 K-12 Online Conference provides outstanding opportunities for free, collaborative, accessible professional learning for educators around the globe. As you know we are participating in this very important on line Conference. You can find us in Classroom 2.0.. The presenters are Vance Stevens, Nelba Quintana, Doris Molero, Saša Sirk, and Rita Zeinstejer and our presentation is“Motivating Student Writers by Fostering Collaboration through Tagging and Aggregating”
When describing our presentation you can read...
The presenters play with boundaries through the simple expedient of having student bloggers in different countries tag their blog posts with the unique tag term writingmatrix. Searching on that tag in Technorati, the student bloggers in four locations in three different countries have managed to locate one another’s posts, leave comments for one another, and have subsequently interacted in other ways as well. The presenters explain how they started the project and how it has branched into other online and even face to face activities involving the students in the participant countries. The presentation is made not only through the voices of the presenters, but with the students themselves lending their voices through their blogs and videos.
Here, you can watch and listen to or just listen to our presentation

I think, this comferens shows a great way to learn about different types of writing in different countries. Also, it let us learn who fun tag our own blog could be. I would like to be part of this experience.
My opinion about this comferens, well i think is a good for students to learn more about other countries, and other countries about us.
I think motivation is the primary principle in the ladder of success. To reach the success, everyone needs to be motivated. Each individual and each student has different forms and objects of motivation. Like inspiration, motivation too is an equally important ingredient for the recipe of success and to reach the goal (learning). I think that motivating students writer by fostering collaboration through tagging and aggregating is an excellent way to make students motivated and it’s a great way to express how students think and at the same time to learn by communicating.
