Apologies for the rather UK-centric nature of this post and the fact that I've ripped it from TechCrunch, but it appears the British government is proposing that Twitter be taught in primary schoolsNet Generation Education
I’d like to give a little publicity to some great work being done by Julie Lindsay and Vicki Davis over on Ning.

Looking for classrooms to collaborate with for PYP Exhibition
At Beijing (BISS) International School this year our Grade 5 students are basing their exhibition around Inventions and Inventors. We are looking for other PYP classrooms to collaborate with and create a learning community with common outcomes, maybe even a joint exhibition objective.
If you are interested in exploring this idea, please email me at school jlindsay@biss.com.cn
I look forward to hearing from you.

Exhibition Guidelines (2008) from the IBO
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) exhibition represents a significant event in the life of a PYP school and student, synthesizing the essential elements of the PYP and sharing them with the whole school community. As a culminating experience it is an opportunity for students to exhibit the attributes of the International Baccalaureate (IB) learner profile that have been developing throughout their engagement with the PYP.
In the students’ final year of the PYP, which occurs in some schools at age 10–11 and in others at age 11–12, there are five units of inquiry and the exhibition*. The exhibition unit takes place under any transdisciplinary theme at the discretion of the school. Students are required to engage in a collaborative, transdisciplinary inquiry process that involves them in identifying, investigating and offering solutions to real-life issues or problems. The central idea selected must be of sufficient scope and significance to warrant a detailed investigation by all students.
*Only IB World Schools offering the PYP are required to participate in the exhibition although candidate schools may choose to do so.
