"The concept is simple: classrooms Skype call each other and try to guess where the other classroom is located either in the United States or in the world."
Connect your classroom to the world. A free and easy way for teachers to open up their classroom. Meet new people, talk to experts, share ideas and create amazing learning experiences with teachers from around the world.
Some teachers on my campus are allowing kids to construct knowledge through projects, but not nearly enough. Plus, I don't think we are truly doing Project Based Learning in the strictest sense.
Every place they go, people will be using a flood of differing devices. Every place they work people will be Skyping, Twittering, Chatting, Texting, working together in Google Docs, translating, searching for information and data, and building social networks
We have a blended ecosystem of iPads, Chromebooks, Macs, PC laptops , PC labs, language labs, and ActivExpression devices. However, it seems a minority of teachers are using these in a limited way. A few teachers are using Twitter follow, texting answers using ActivExpressions, and my personal favorite- GAFE!!! GAFE has been a game changer in terms of collaboration and assessment and the light bulb is starting to go off for some teachers.
