Transforming learning through global collaboration

Elementary School Bullying Project

I am a principal in Massachusetts who is hoping to establish a project between classrooms that is centered on bullying/teasing.
ideas?
Read and discuss a common book?
work on a voice thread project?
use a wiki to engage in conversation and share thoughts?

we are pretty tech savvy here, so I am open to any ideas.

thanks

She may be interested in working with you. Her research could certainly add to a common book, along with all the experience she brings. If you are interested in contacting her, please send me your name and email address, and I will forward it to her.

My only request is that you let her get through this summer's work on her dissertation before she is pulled too many directions. The D has to be her focus!

Thanks,
MaryFriend

I am a tech ed teacher teaching k - 8. I would love to do a project about bullying/teasing. It is an issue in our schoool. A few ideas are currently buzzing around my head. Send me a message if you come across anything.

Literature sounds like a good topic. Could we see if we have some mutual books that students have read or are planning to?

thanks
