[Icvv] Intros, Matches, Wiki and Photos

[David Rosen]

ICVV Colleagues,


Introduce yourself

If you haven't yet, please introduce yourself.  Where is/are your  
class(es) located? what city/town/state/country?  What kind of class  
would you like to match with? Adult - what level(s)?  High school?  
Elementary? Do you have a country preference? What month do/does your  
class(es) begin and end? Are there particular activities that you  
have in mind?

Pick a partner

Go to the participant database to choose a partner class to match  
with. http://www.otan.us/webfarm/emailproject/database3.htm

Check out our wiki.

Learn about the project activities this yea. See who the participants  
are. Get wiki help, and begin to create your classes' wiki pages.

Go to http://tinyurl.com/mqcx7 to look through the ICVV Wiki.

Get permission for photos

You can put images on your wiki page(s) as well as text.  Be sure,  
however, that you have written permission from each person to post  
their photo on the Internet. For some students this could be a  
sensitive issue, for adults as well as children.  There have been  
some interesting solutions in the past:  a photo of children with  
paper bags over their heads with their faces drawn on the paper bags,  
and adults in a group with no one's face to the camera.  On the other  
hand, sometimes this is not a problem.  Just a "heads up" if you are  
beginning to take pictures, use a form that students can sign giving  
you written permission to post their pictures on the worldwide web.   
Also be sure students understand what that means.
