Where are you located? I need to get it all set up then I will send you a link to the collaboration. Not to worry it should be done by the end of the month.
Matthew, our second graders do a unit on the Arctic each year and I would love to have one or two classes connect with your students. We will be doing class blogs and wikis so the interaction could be online through those types of tools. Our purpose in the unit is to look at the effects of climate on animal life, resources and the overall history of people who have lived in the Arctic regions. If you get some ideas pulled together I will be back at school in mid-August as students start at the end of August.
For the beginning of the project. More stuff will be posted this weekend on the site.
We will have those post and projects/topics up until school starts and classes get involved. So basically all that is added until next week will stand until schools start. These will be the first kind of get to know you activities.
Hi there Sharon, Firstly the challenge you face is universal! I'm from a school in Australia and while we have many teachers who are very progressive and innovative, it is often in "pockets" rather than across whole schools. As far as your adminis...
Let me see about getting a class to try out a wiki. . .we have 8 grade 5 classes. Maybe we could join up one in each school? Give me a sense of ideas which you were hoping to do? I am open to all ideas
thanks
Rob
