    This was a good summary of ePals usage from a teacher in the Northeast. She provided pros and cons which was helpful for me to analyze if it's right for my classroom.

    I really enjoyed reading this blog. There were lots of ups an downs mentioned which really gave a good picture of her experience with ePals.

    Just 18 percent of U.S. school teachers use social media to connect with students and parents, and only a quarter of teachers report they would like to make it part of their lesson plans, according to a recent survey.

    One of my concerns or issues is this very thing - how can I ensure my students are using these tools appropriately when it will not only affect me and my job but also their potential employment future as well. How do we keep the professional/academic side of it separate from the personal/social side of it?

    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.

    I think blogging is the new persuasive essay - my thesis, finally. Truth is, I love writing essays. There's something satisfying about rendering the chaos of thoughts into an elegant form. But I love blogging more. It feels like playing.

    What about students that don't have cell phones? My own kids aren't allowed to get on till their 16. Or what about the families that are low income?
  • Laurie Nielsen on 22 Jun 12
     
    I'm with you, Sara. My own kids get a cell phone for Christmas freshman year and DON'T have Internet access, however the Ipod Touch has the Internet. (Kids bought themselves.) This has inspired me to not only poll kids on their Internet access on a computer but on their phone/Ipod as well.
  • Sara Rael on 22 Jun 12
     
    Thanks Laurie, that is a good point. We do have a few Ipod Touches at our school if kids don't have one.
  • Laura Foell on 24 Jun 12
     
    I agree with some of the comments about some kids not having access. But schools should be encouraged to make these available to those without access.

  • have students know there are certain expectations around computer use in a classroom just like there are in a place of business that are different from the ones at home; help students understand  the YouTube videos they choose to watch should add value to what they are doing in class; encourage  students to think critically when watching YouTube videos to determine if the videos have the potential to add value to the task at hand; have students practice thinking critically about the videos they are watching and evaluating them.

  • 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.

    Personally I prefer Google Hangout, but it's the same concept. What a great way to get a good guest speaker from someone that may not be local and speak in person. Personally I like the idea for professional development. Can do it one-on-one with someone and get specific questions answered for your class as opposed to blanket topics/statements in large group professional development settings.

    I use Skype along with my husband's 5th grade classroom. His students read aloud to my kinder students as part of our literacy block. We rotate through the kids until everyone has had a turn and then we get new books and start over. It's a win, win for everyone!
