It’s been over 7 months since the last comment, is anyone reading this far?

I want to tell everyone about PikiFriends. I’m a teacher full-time, and it’s my creation after years and years of hard work:
http://www.pikifriends.net

PikiFriends is a sophisticated online ‘penpal’ program made for junior and senior high school students and teachers only, without public interaction. The main goals of PikiFriends are to improve English communication skills (no matter what level English speaker you are) and to teach good ‘Netiquette’ practices.
Things that make it special:
-Free…
-Except for the excellent curriculum (the only thing ‘for sale’ on PikiFriends)
-Unbelievably safe for students (no contact info required or allowed to be entered anywhere)
-Very simple, intuitive interface
-Teachers have great control of their student accounts
-Students really enjoy using it (I should know, I have hundreds of mine using it)

Thanks students from Ms Smith’s and Mr Bogush’s class for visiting The Edublogger. I’ve dropped past each of your blogs and left a comment – although your photos of food did make me hungry.

Hi Mrs. Waters!
I agree with Sam too. Bringing us together is an excellent blog because many people will like to read the psots on it and leave comments. It is pretty cool to share a blog with other people because you never know what they will write about until they have!
Bye!

Hi Mrs. Waters,
I agree with Sam that Bringing Us Together is a really good blog. I also got to write a post with my classmate Sophie, and it was awesome because there were lots of comments, and I also got to visit new blogs because there are some classes that are involved in the new blog, and I got to visit some of them. I hope that Bringing Us Together can stay up for a long time!
