Dennis Oliver (Arizona):
The best Webhead-connected experience for me was the blog that Carla Arena and I (and two other teachers, plus their classes) did. This blog was very active from September 2005 to June 2006 and continued, though less actively, until December 2006. It's still online. It was noted (on p. 88) in a 2007 textbook by Gavin Dudeney and Nicky Hockly: How to Teach English with Technology.
Carla and I have never met face to face, by the way, but have become good friends via the Net.
