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!

I an an technology integration specialist on the Eastern Shore of Virginia (USA).  I have a Spanish teacher who would like to find a class of English language learners in Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico, or Argentina to do a joint project with.  Specifically, she is interested in having her students work in groups to create digital stories.  These stories would be created by the students with the intent of teaching others about the area we live in and our culture.  She would like to find a class in one of those countires who would do the same thing.  We could have students exchange emails as they progress on the project.  This idea comes from epals.com, and I expect we would use that site to cooridiante our efforts.

Let me know if you are interested.  This is a group of ten students who are 15-18 years old.

Looking to possibly do a Holidays Around the World Project with my 5th grade class where we link up with classes around the world that can SKYPE call and share about their traditions for December related Holidays. If there is anyone out there that would be interested in setting something up please message me and let me know. I haven't attempted this project before and would love to see how it turns out. having students learn about different cultures to enhance their Global Awareness would be very interesting. They would keep track of their visits as well.

Are you interested in children in India, Nepal, Pakistan, Cameroon and others?

Not sure of the age groups available, but the level of English may be more important.  Contact me at drz@enabling.org

I'm looking to collaborate with a 5th grade class outside of Michigan. I'm interested in researching local or global issues and writing position pieces to be sent to appropriate leaders in the community or nation, with the emphasis on effecting positive change. Any takers? Anyone know where else I might look for interested parties?

Thanks in advance for your help!

If you are thinking of giving your child some math during the summer, http://www.goldstudent.com/ can be a good tool for you. You can think of a way to reward them for the worksheets they complete. It is amazing how well a reward can help.

GoldStudent.com is a fun, easy and effective online math enrichment and assistance program for students K-6. It is designed to help children improve their problem-solving skills, gain confidence in their math abilities and have fun while they learn.

We have just launched our Free Trial! You can now create an account without any charges.

Thanks!

Hello all ... I was hoping for ideas on simply how to use distance collaboration in the classroom. I have used Skype personally but never in the classroom. I have registered with ePals in hopes to connect with students in a different part of the nation, continent, world ... but I was unsuccessful in finding a partner class last year. I would really like to use distance collaboration as a means for enhancing communication-- written and verbal. If anyone at all has suggestions for me, please let me know! I would love to get my students involved in this experience!
