Hello everyone in the Distance Collaborations group. Delighted to find rich discussions and sharing of opportunities for local and global interactions and meaningful collaborations. We are about to launch a number of Flat Classroom Projects in September and particularly want to encourage non-USA classrooms to consider joining us. We have projects for K-2, Gr 3-5, Middle school, and High school, some of which e.g. Digiteen and Eracism, are available for MS and HS. Follow the links to full details about each one, including information about subscription rates. We are willing to discuss some subscription scholarships to encourage cultural diversity within each project. Please contact me to discuss further and if you have any questions. Remember: When you go flat, you never go back! Good luck everyone!

Oh, and good luck to Aaron Maurer (comment just below mine) who is one of our Flat Classroom Certified Teachers and is the very FIRST project to be registered on the Flat Classroom Project Databank. Do you have a great project? Then come and register this on our Databank and we will help you publicize it!

Just throwing this out there for everyone. I have just opened up an online project studying bald eagles. My classes are going to be doing some amazing things on top of the online portion to share with others that are interested. Check it out and consider joining - http://eagleeyecamera.wikispaces.com/

@Marie, I can help out. Let me know what types of projects/topics for the students and I will coordinate something with a teacher or two in my building. I work in grades 6,7, and 8.

Hello Marie, I'm the founder of EduQuiki and am always looking for opportunities to connect with others.

Hi Marie!
Do you have the capacity to videoconference (not Skype). If so, I may have a high school that would be interested in partnering with you.

Hi, I'm an English teacher working at an integrated junior high and high school in Tokyo, Japan. I'm looking for global parters (inside or outside of the US) who are willing to have collaborative lessons / projects with my Japanese students. I'm thinking about doing joint research projects or exchanging presentations about each country, but I'd love to brainstorm any kind of lesson plans with you. (By the way, I'm now teaching 7th and 10th graders, which means 13-14&15-16 years old students.)
If you are interested in please let me know!

I'd love to start collaborating. I just don't know where to start with my third grade class. Suggestions?

Monica,

What has happened since January 21st with us is that the Spanish teacher successfully paired one of her classes with a class in Barcolona.  The second class couldn't seem to find a class to pair with, so they have joined in on the same project.  I'll speak with the teacher involved and see if she'd like to break that class off and pair them with you instead.  What we are doing is "digital story telling"--they are creating videos on varioius subjects--most related to our culture, and plan to exchange them with the class in Spain.  To see what we have done so far, go to http://digitalstoryproject.weebly.com/index.html  We are listed as "Chesapeake'" on theWeebly site, and "Arcadia High School" on the Wetpaint site.  I'll see what she says--I'm a technology integration specialist and have no students of my own.

As a former history teacher, when I think of Portugal what comes to mind is Prince Henry the Navigator, the Papal Line of Demarcation, and Brazil.  One factor that may influence Mrs. McAvene's decision are the differences between Spanish, which her students are learning, and Portugese, which they are not.

Thanks for contacting me,

Larry

Hi Larry Blodgett! I'm a teacher form Portugal, just next to Spain! Would you be interested in having your students work with my group? I am involved in a project in a Secondary School regarding the use of social networks to increase and enhance the use of a foreign language. My group is made up of 27 students, between 15-18 years old. i am looking for an opportunity to find a foreign group (english learners or speakers), and get them to change experiences. What do you think? Could our projects match? Hope to hear from you!
