Listen in as we kick the tires on a new Drupal site that we will be using this fall to connect our students. This summer Paul Allison and Susan Ettenheim invited Alice Barr, George Mayo, and Chris Sloan to work with Bill Fitzgerald and his colleagues at Funny Monkey to create a Drupal site for Youth Voices. In the weeks to come we will be inviting you to have you join our students as they begin to publish their images, videos, text, and audio on Youth Voices. Please plan to join us.

Many of us (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), have already returned or will soon return to school. Our summer weeks of reflecting, learning, dreaming, planning, scheming are behind us. Perhaps it's useful to remember what our conversations from a few weeks back sounded like.

On this podcast, recorded a few weeks ago, Paul Allison and Susan Ettenheim are joined by three other teachers who were just trying to enjoy their summer break:

Six teachers gathered together to discuss the start up of school from laptop rollouts to getting schedules late, from recording introductory podcasts to using four images to represent themsleves, from curriculum to theory, from play to internet safety. Join us next week! These were the teachers on this week's show.

• Paul Allison, East Bronx Academy for the Future, NYC
• Lee Baber, F. Hillyard Middle School, Broadway, Virginia
• Alice Barr, Yarmouth HS, Yarmouth, Maine
• Susan Ettenheim, Eleanor Roosevelt HS, NY, New York
• Bill Oneal, Trenton Central High School, West, Trenton, New Jersey
• Kevin Sandridge, Boone Middle School, Haines City, Florida
