    On this blog a fourth grade classroom teacher shares how she and another teacher (that she connected with via twitter) collaborated to use Skype to connect and complete a Mystery State Project. I think that this is a neat idea and that my fourth grade teachers would be interested in trying this.

    In math class, we all taught 1/0= infinity. The equation simply shows the mathematical relation between these two numbers and infinity. It shows the connection between these three. So we know its connected each other. Its is amazing that we can make formulas and equations in philosophy too.

    Edmodo provides teachers and students a secure place to connect and collaborate, share content and educational applications, and access homework, grades, class discussions and notifications. Our goal is to help educators harness the power of social media to customize the classroom for each and every learner.

    Facebook is not an option at our school. I don't see it ever being an option. Edmodo though is used in a local district and I just saw a presentation on it on last year. Looks very interesting.

    I think edmodo would be good for sharing ideas between teachers on committees gathering materials for professional development.

    This is a straightforward article we often see about 'uses in the classroom'. Professionally, there are many useful examples about how to use Skype: Connecting with international classrooms, guest lecturers, interviews, and other examples. The idea of a guest lecturer is appealing. I have used it before to connect my students with classrooms around the world.

  • She introduces the students, who start off quietly, a little wary of this newfangled sort of author visit. But soon they’re taking turns sharing their favorite characters and we forget the computers that connect us. It feels like we’re all in the same room, and the questions fly across the miles.
  • The video connection allows for some show and tell. I hold up the leaf collection from my school that sparked the idea for the book. The students also get a sneak peak at the outline I’m working on for my new project, a middle-grade mystery. I love the way they talk not just to me but to one another, building on ideas like readers do in any book club discussion.
  • Almost all authors have an online presence with Web sites and email links, so it’s often possible to send a quick note to inquire.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Once students are used to the technology (and they adapt more quickly than we do, most often) they’re happy to carry on a conversation as if the author is sitting in the room with them.

  • “Convincing others of the importance of global citizenship…push back from others who do not value global education. Another challenge is the amount of time and flexibility that is required to conduct and sustain global projects without them fizzling out over time.”
