Hello,
We are a non-profit vocational training school located in Chicago, Il.,
USA. We offer training to adults 18 and over in Shipping & Receiving and
Woodworking respectively. Part of training involves language and math
instruction that is contextualized for each career. We are interested in
partnering with a program that offers similar training. We offer 3
trainings a year in each career. Hope yo hear from you soon.

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.

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.
