Using an online exchange project called PenPal News Red-Blue,middle-school and high school students across the country are participating in conversations about election-year issues with peers from different parts of the country. Students are asked to use facts- not just personal experience to converse with their peers about election issues.
Thanks Sterling,
This is a great resource. I just watched the "32 Ways to Use Google Apps in the Classroom". It's got a great video embedded in it where the students are all working together to write an election speech for their classmate.
