 They met in 1919 at the end of the Great War.  She was to be married to an English soldier, and he was an American soldier about to be shipped home to Alabama.  He had fought in the war and grown up a lot in those two years since America entered the war.  She was a nurse, and he was visiting a fellow soldier from his troop.  

 I was interested in his point about kids collaborating using technology. It reinforced what I do in my classroom. I created a Moodle website and posted weekly prompts for kids to choose from.  I also gave the option of free write and as the year went on, it became the more popular option.  Kids enjoyed writing and were sad when we did not have a Moodle for the week. They also enjoyed reading each other's posts and commenting.
