Online forum! I think students from around Toronto should get a forum going! We could talk about our cultures,write about ourselves...we could be friends with other kids are ages,even if we never met them. We could discuss different issues in our world that we'd like to fix,and issues right at school too. The students could post threads and they can discuss things that they'd like their school to do,to fix problems etc. and once the ideas are made,and everyone on that forum helps add to that idea.The students from that school who started the thread could contact their teacher or principal who may find some way to make that idea possible.:D
I'm really good at web -deigning,anything related to computers...graphic designing,web coding etc.
I could set up the forum at Proboards. com and maybe we could advertise it to other students at other schools other than cummer to go online,create an account and start discussing!
Reply,if you think this is a good idea,an wouldn't mind supporting me!
