Writingmatrix is a worldwide collaboration project involving students blogging in countries including Argentina, Venezuela, and Slovenia. The project utilizes tagging and social networking to make it possible for students to locate each other's blogs and then interact with each other. Teachers on the project will report their experiences and those of their students using this system.

Rita Zeinstejer is developing the project into one where two tags could be used: writingmatrix and serendipity. Read (and comment on) her description here: http://www.webheadsinaction.org/node/245

Ruth Vilmi appears interested in our project, and was asking about it here: http://www.webheadsinaction.org/node/227 . Your comments are welcome as well :-)

Three of the PowerPoint files are attached here. Here also is the slideshare by Sasha Sirk: http://tinyurl.com/28gg8a
