Kevin (Seattle) and Nohora/Maritza (Bogota) are exchanging class lists, matching students. Students will now be able to contact their buddies through email.
I have explored Gaggled and created a "new school" (with Jeff's generous authorization at Gaggle).
Kevin and his class are planning on using Gaggle this year.
I am looking at it, with Fundacion Santa Maria in mind. It would permit teachers to control the flow of information, be able to blog/chat/email/create profiles from the same software.
From one day of working with it, creating a class structure and navigating, the user interface does not feel very intuitive. Thinking that it is also not localized in Spanish, I am not sure it the right tool for Fundacion Santa Maria.
I'll work with it for another round, before turning the page on it though.

Kevin (Seattle) y Nohora/Maritza (Bogota) estan intercambiando la lista de la classe, y formando pares de estudientes. Ahora, los estudientes pueden contactar a su amigo/a por email.
Estoy explorando el software de Gaggle.net. (con la authorization generosa de Jeff en Gaggle).
Kevin y su classe planean de utilisar Gaggle este anio.
Estoy mirando este software, pensando en FSM. Seria chevere de usarlo, para que los professores tengan mas control del contenido de la informacion, y tambien de tener en el mismo sitio los blogs, chat, email y pagina de presentacion, todo eso en el mismo software.
Despues de utilisarlo por un dia, cree una estructura de clase y navegacion, me parece que la interface no es muy intuitiva. Ademas, todo es en ingles. No estoy convencida que seria una buena heramienta para FSM.
Voy a estudiarlo otra ves antes de tener una opinion definitiva.
