We have used Google Hangouts to video chat with up to three other classes at one time. We used it mostly with the Global Read Aloud. It was great and easy to use.

Storify allows users to create stories by importing content into a timeline. I've seen Storify used to archive tweet chats, such as #iaedchat. I haven't used it personally can certainly see potential uses, such as archiving a class hashtag follow.

Can also be used for tweet chats; hence the name TweetChat :)

Digital Citizenship lessons for students and teachers

Thanks, Mekca! We spend very little time teaching Digital Citzenship. I think it needs to be embedded in every teacher's curriculum. There are so many "teachable" moments that present themselves that could be linked to proper social media usage. This is going to be an excellent resource for me to share with my fellow educators.

This is an excellent source for me to use in my Teen Insights classroom. We started with a unit on bullying... then cyberbullying... I think we're missing the point- students just need to learn to be good digital citizens! I will use this source to build my curriculum. I appreciate that the curriculum is geared towards students but that it gives teachers and parents good background as well. Parents are a huge part of cyberbullying problems. Much of the conflict we have in school has to do with something students do online at home and then carry those hard feelings with them to school. I do not have resources similar to these. The video that my curriculum used to show warned students to avoid chat rooms and to only choose names that gave no indication of their age, gender, or location. It's good for students to stay safe, but the world has become much more familiar and personal with technology. Our curriculum needs to adapt to keep up.

This wikispace is full of different elementary wiki pages. It allows other elementary teachers the chance to look at other teachers pages for ideas for different content areas.

Amanda, this looks like a great resource for elementary teachers. Have you had a chance to play around with this site more yet? I'd like to find more "chat" sites to communicate and connect with other elementary teachers. Wiki's are a great place to find free resources.
