=My Profile= I am the Educational Director of Israel Connect and we twin Jewish schools and youth from across the world to schools and youth in Israel.

I would like to see how we can expand our educational connections across the world and would appreciate if you can connect me with schools in your area.

Feedback & Notes from my WikiNeighbours

 * Great to see you in the tutorial, Amihai, and to see your user page. Do you have any concerns about the quality of educational resources developed using an open authoring approach? If so, what are your concerns? If not, how does an open authoring approach contribute to high quality learning materials?--Phil Bartle 09:07, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Phil, In my opinion, any materials added to an open content website, have to be monitored. Users will gain the respect of their peers dependant on their previous contributions. Atbannett 11:09, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Amihai, I'm looking forward to "seeing" how your userpage develops --Nellie Deutsch 05:31, 18 June 2009 (UTC).
