Collaborating for REAL Student Improvements!

As you visit/join this Distance Collaborations Group, you may want to give a few stats about yourself and your education position to let new/old group members know how they can collaborate with you.

Additionally, here's a terrific project where high school and college students can collaborate locally AND globally. There are infinite possibilities out there!

Hi, I've been blogging with my second graders in Minnesota all year. We've participated in jenuinetech.com projects, created several voice threads, and skyped once. I'm teaching first grade next year and will continue blogging with them as a way to give students another audience to write for besides their teacher. I will be seeking out other ways to collaborate on projects with classrooms around the world. Check out this years blog: http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=177885

Hey I am Allen,

I am not new here but I just joined this group. I teach and coordinate online courses or distance learning programs in different schools and colleges. I am on of the supporters of imparting education through distance learning to the students who live in remote areas and are unable to access universities or colleges.

Hope to find like minded people to network with.

Hello Colleagues,

I have just joined this group to learn how I can use distance learning to promote the training of Jewish educators irrespective of where they live.


By way of introduction, here is some background information.

I am a retired Coordinator of Professional Development Schools, University of Maryland at College, Park, MD where I taught undergraduates to become teachers, and graduate students to become instructional leaders. At this stage in my professional career I want to devote my time to improving the stature, quality and skills of Jewish educators.

Toward that end, I have started a blog which is entitled, Mentoring Jewish Students and Teachers, which you can find at this web address: http://richarddsolomonsblog.blogspot.com/

Here is an article that I wrote with Dr. Hana Bor, and Elaine Solomon,
which briefly discusses how we envision distance learning can be used to improve the training of Jewish educators: Solomon, Richard, Solomon, Elaine & Bor, Hana (Fall, 2007). From madrichim to expert educators: New Career Ladder for Professional Development for Supplementary and Day School Teachers, Jewish Education News, CAJE, Vol 28, No. 3, (Fall, 2007). http://caje.wikispaces.com/Jewish+Education+News

I hope to find colleagues who share my passion for the training of Jewish educators.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello, I've joined this group to find out more about working in collaboration with another school on joint projects.

I teach English language to French teenagers in NW France. I have recently enjoyed doing a very successful collaborative Skype-based project with a school in Florida. This project enabled my students to practice their English with native speakers, and the Americans students to practice their French. Altogether, nearly 70 of my students participated and spoke for about 45 minutes each to their US partner. I hope that future projects will include other methods of collaboration - email exchanges, joint presentations, working on the same website, etc.

If you have any advice, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Bob here. I am a retired professor of neuropsychology who published research in the areas of learning disabilities. I am working with a non-profit, The Enabling Support Foundation. I am trying to catch up with Web 2.0 before it moves to 3.0.

My online experience has been mostly pre WWW -- Web -1.0
and that was distance learning, It feels good to see it still exists.
And I don't have to keep straight moodle and drupal.
Rob Theriault Comment by Rob Theriault on April 5, 2009 at 9:01am
My name is Rob. I teach and coordinate entry level and post-diploma paramedic programs at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontarion (1 hour north of Toronto on the beautiful shores of Kempenfelt Bay). I am using several technologies in the classroom from Wikis to Podcasting to Webcasting live. I am very interested in learning from others and in sharing what I have learned along the way.

BTW...if you're a high school teacher from Ontario and would like a guest speaker to come to your class virtually via Elluminate to tell your students about the paramedic field, I am happy to accommodate.

cheers
