Planned Keynote speaker, Les Richardson, author of Open Admin for Schools will not be able to come to the conference as he is getting down to the important things in life like time with his family and staying near home after retiring from teaching. We have high hopes that Les, our friend via the Net for a long time, will be able to come next year.

We are glad to say that Les will be working with us from Canada, as usual, however, to help those interested in a powerful, reliable and tested Free Software solution for a Student Information System, Open Admin for Schools.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

***** S P R E A D t h e W O R D ! *****

Issue three for 2009 of ITeachNet.org's "Webzine2" is on-line now. Please spread the word to friends and colleagues. Do you have a blog, site, organization or mailing list? Facebook? Cross-posting appreciated. Recent articles span two topics:

1. The question of consumerism in education and
2. what is meant by the term "International School."

Both questions are meant as discussion-starters and authors were invited to present their ideas on the subject.

Plan Ahead

Starting with the May* issue, we would like to have a best ten project for international school students.

We're looking for the ten best poems (by age-groups: 10-12, 13-14, 15-16, and 17-18.

All contributions will be eligible for publishing.

Winners will be voted by the iteachnet.org membership with comments from the Committee for Int'l Student Literature.

Do your school and the community a service: share your news: The theme we want to start with is "Catch your school doing something right."

As we all know, our students are motivated to learn when we can "catch" them doing something well. We're sure you'll see the fun and value in extending this philosophy to your faculty members.

Likely to be held in downtown Bangkok although a day trip away is possible for an attractive environment with good facilities. Looking for wireless, decent food, possibly accomodations at an affordable price.

Dear Friends,

This is an invitation to schools and professional educators to post their professional news for free, and, also, to add your school's URL to iteachnet.org's list of international schools.  We will be publishing excellent articles by colleagues and leaders in international education and hope you will take advantage of it and spread the word to others that they can do so, too.  We would like to as

Blogs are one way for school-representatives to post their news. They are also a good way for classroom teachers to set up a site for their classes. Writers may want to post more frequently than the six "issues" of the Webzine; if writers want, we can work with them to select original articles to be included in the Webzine from among blog posts.
