I see that you are doing a stock market activity. I teach 6th grade in Indiana and am having my students do a stock market graphing activity as well. I would love to discuss this with you on how you started out with this project so that I could tweek mine. I didn't want to give the kids an amount of money, so I allowed them to choose from six different stocks and they needed to buy a total number of 100 shares of stock. I think that it would be interesting to have a blog discussion.

We started off with $25000, they couldn't have more money left than the costs of one share of the cheapest stock. They filled out a stock request form My STocks Form which sent everything to me though Google Docs. The project lasted a month and we followed the stocks about two-three times a week, they created excel sheets to track the progress. Last night and today they created charts to display what happened during the course of the project.

I think it would be great to have a blog discussion, or even use an elluminate session.

Let me know.

Hi, Brian.

I teach a host of classes in West Michigan including a 7th grade math. I just signed up here and thought I might be setting up a ning room for my own class. It's going to take a little to get started, but I am interested in having kids collaborate from a distance.

Brian,

My 7/8 grade math teacher might be interested in collaborating with you. He loves technology and is currently looking for ways to incorporate it into his classroom. I send him the link to your site to see if he would be willing to work with you.
