All K-2 teachers with email addresses (that I could find) have been invited to be co-authors on the blog. If each teacher could post about your window views (include photos, VoiceThreads, glogs, Animotos, videos, or any artifacts) that would be fantastic. Let me know if you need me.

All Teachers,
Please disseminate this crucial information and bring it up at your respective teacher meetings and in your classrooms. There is a wiki glitch! Vicki has identified a glitch when a participant is attempting to join a wiki using an iPad. The join me button does not appear on iPads, so for now all iPad users need to be invited by email and this WILL work..so they will need to be invited to both the wiki #1 (to our gated community) and to the project wiki. Please share this information with all your teachers as soon as possible. Thanks Lisa.

Jessica Friday posted a super awesome blog for her students about wiki editing complete with screenshots, arrows, captions, and circles. I just had to share this -> http://around-the-world-in-80-blocks.blogspot.com/2012/10/hwc-day-3...

Meeting #4 and #5 now confirmed via Timebridge. #4 is in less than 24 hours from now, 8am China April 5, 8pm EST April 4.
At both of these meetings we invite you to 'Smack-down' a Web 2.0 tool in 3-4 minutes and share ideas for co-creation and product development. Let's have some fun with this while together coming closer to what our classroom collaborations will be sharing in another month.

K-2 Meeting March 28, 2012 - Notes
Blackboard Collaborate recording
What's Next??
- Determine teams (if needed) for students
- Bootcamp or share ideas for software - Smack-down coming!
- Introduce topics to students
- Design collaboration and co-created products
- Co-creation means:
- Use the same set of media (collected together) but each class creates a different product?
- Adding media to the same tool e.g. Voicethread?
- Each class develops a plan and requests media from other classes (outsourced)?
- What else?
