Dear teachers from CAPE TOWN,

I started my work as a writer of Literature for Children in the 1970´s with paper and pen as only materials available. As year went by, they were replaced by the typewriter (1976), the electronic typewriter (1980) and eventually the computer (1986). But it was only with the advent of Internet, that I discovered the wide range of possibilities for anyone who is interested in publishing and making his work known.

At that moment (1998) I discovered a Global Classroom with Patti Weeg. I sent my book and now (1999) I received her book Kids@Work Math in cyberzone... but the first contact was by e-mail. I ask myself : Is this like another Gutenberg Time ?. I think so because the whole world has the opportunity to read, write and exchange unlimited information. Nowdays, anybody´s work can be edited on the WEB and made available to an unlimited audience. Cecilia, my workmate in Patagonia (1700 Km South of Mar del Plata) helps me correct my stories by the net.

Now the activity that makes Patty revolutionary is that she believes in Education on the Net. Education helps us find truth, excellence and peace. Teachers, friends... you have a good opportunity to learn with Patti. Good Luck !

Liebe Patti, Liebe Lehrer und Lehrerinnen,

die Sommerferien dauern nur noch eine Woche. Unsere Computerräume sind noch geschlossen, nur unser Web-Server läuft. In Wien (Hauptstadt von Österreich) beginnt langsam der Herbst. Die Temperaturen sind mild und es regnet oft. Ich wünsche Dir Patti und Deinen Lehrerinnen und Lehrern viel Spass beim Lernen im Internet.

Hello, people from South Africa!

I am Adriana, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but you can call me Adri, as my friends from Kidlink usually do. I've been working with Patti Weeg since I came to the universe of Kidlink and she gave me support and help. She introduced me Carolynn Bruton and we worked together too! I am sure that this meeting will bring you many oportunities and as educators we have to experience mutual help and cooperative work. Let's do it! I wish you luck and fun! I wish I could be there! But with Patti and Carol there, I am sure that there's part of my heart with you!!!

Beijocas (ask Patti about that, please!!!)
Meu carinho!

From Brazil: Hello, South Africa! Hello Patti's students!!!

Welcome to Kidlink and to the Internet! The Internet with all its technologies on information, communication and cooperation provides great opportunities for the Education. It makes easy the exchange and the cooperation moderated among persons on distance as well as it makes possible that every one becomes a supplier of information and an user of qualitative information. And Kidlink is the BEST!

If agree with me and if you liked Kidlink or if you have suggestions, compliments, etc... please, leave them at: http://www.kidlink.org/portuguese/index.html The page is written in Portuguese but you'll see an icon (a book). Icons are "icons" no matter the language. ;-))))))) Just I don't know where the icon's book is in the English's pages. ;-) But you can leave your message in that book. In quite a second your message will be posted in our WEB pages. Try!

Cheers and Thanks!

Hi Patti and folks from S. Africa,

This is from Campo Grande, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. In our country, this region is known by the imense flooded areas called "Pantanal", which is the environment of literally thousands of fishes, plants and a quite important part of the water of the planet.

We are working to be knew also by the education throughout Kidlink. It is amazing to know that this dream is becoming a stronger reality each day!

No matter how far we are, Kidlink turns us side by side, fighting the Good Fight, against artificial divisions and ignorance. Welcome everybody to this huge family! Hugs from your brother :o))

Hello people from South Africa, Welcome to KIDLINK. I'm Janeth Silveira Pinto. I work as a teacher, but I'm a teacher who doesn't teach anything, but learn and let people learn. I'm really enjoying this experience at KIDLINK family. It's something that starts growing and growing, and suddenly you realize the real meaning of cooperative work. I could say, using nothing but feelings, that it's something that comes from inside... from our souls through our spirits to, finally, reach the group, through the group's spirit to the group's soul... I really wish you enjoy KIDLINK, and since we have already thought about the theories that, in certain way, explain this amazing experience, I hope now we can let flow our feelings ... A big kiss, a huge hug and the deepest peace for us all.

Greetings to Participants,
Millenium Minds Conference,
South Africa

How fortunate you are to meet Patti and to have the opportunity to gain some of her knowledge and expertise. I just discovered KIDLINK last year and am totally hooked on using online strategies to enhance student learning. The kids really love being able to communicate with other people around the world and to share their experiences and common goals. KIDLINK is truly a global community that provides educational opportunities for all participants--teachers, students, and parents.

I am sure that you will enjoy the upcoming conference where you will discover new ways of using the Internet and telecommunication. Hopefully you will become a member of the KIDLINK family where we all share and learn together. Be sure to check out the links to the website and join our listserv and Kidleader group.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Dear Patty and teachers in Cape Town!!

Isn't it wonderful to be able to send greetings to your friends as far as from Iceland to Africa, just in few seconds?? I wish I was able to be with you "live", but for now I have to be with you all in spirit!!

The lovely, but short summer in Iceland is soon over. The days are getting a little bit shorter every day, and before you notice you will have "night" almost both night and days.;-)

Soon the school starts again after sommer break and then the vacation is over. But the good point is, that then we will see more of all our Kidlink friends, which have been a little bit invisible because of summer vacation.

Hope all of you have a nice time together in Africa!! Love from Iceland!

Kaer kvedja!!
