Collaborative Project Ideas

What are some ideas you have for collaborative projects - whether it be with a school down the road, in your city/town, interstate or overseas?

*writing blog posts about favourite books
*sharing photos of school lunches
*writing blog posts to ask students somewhere else about their lives

Remember, you don't have to know HOW to go about your ideas just yet. You are here on Classroom 2.0, which is a great place to ask someone what tools to use!

Next year we will have access for all teachers set up with ichat and we could certainly do skype if needed for some work . Keep me in mind, www.professortosa.com

Our school year is slightly different and we have our summer break in January, so I'm not sure how we can do the timing, but I would love to be involved. I teach Year 5's (Grade 4). When does school start again for you?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Maddy on June 5, 2008 at 6:02pm: I'm looking for a class in a town with the same name as ours, Sharon. I'd like to videoconference with next year's grade 3 classes since they study their own town.

I'd like to connect up with classes in other states for our grade 4 geography unit on regions of the US or for our Canada and Mexico Unit.

Also sharing life science projects would be fun through Chat or Skype. We raise frogs, butterflies, mealworms, and plant at grades 3, 1, 2, and 4 respectively.; ▶ Reply to This
