I am a ninth grade English teacher at New Albany High School in central
Ohio.  I requested a channel for my students to use when writing to
others their age.  We began in October and wrote about the US election
with a social studies teacher in Alberta,Canada.  We also surveyed their
classes as they surveyed our opinions on current events.  Now we are
just trying to match students with one personal pen pal, but it is
going very slowly.  Our goal is to always include at least something
about some current event in each of our correspondences.
