<p>Occasionally, for reasons that feel utterly inexplicable, we are unable to attain our dream jobs. Try as we might, we cannot gain approval for an interview or pass the final tests that lead to an offer. For newly qualified teachers, this may be a first opportunity to teach in the classroom. For more experienced teachers, this could be a long-awaited promotion or a move into an international teaching environment. Below is a list of 5 things that may prevent you from getting the job you want:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1. Age and experience</p>
<p>2. Broken contracts and inconsistent experience</p>
<p>3. Lack of experience in the right curriculum</p>
<p>4. Accent</p>

As a whole school, we are studying various parts of the globe in Social Studies for the next two months. Each grade has a different continent to focus on: Kindergarten - Australia, 1st - Africa, 2nd - Europe, 3rd - South America, 4th - Asia, 5th - ancient Middle East, 6th - ancient Egypt, 7th - ancient Greece and Rome.<br></br>

As a whole school, we are studying various parts of the globe in Social Studies for the next two months.

<br/>
I thought it would be fun and interesting for students to use Skype or Voice Thread to share with people on those continents. The project is somewhat open ended since A) this is the first time I've done this, and B) it somewhat depends one the connections I make. The concept I'm tossing around is the idea of a short conversation about similarities and differences between us and them. I plan on asking my students what they would like to learn from people who live elsewhere, but I don't want to ask my students and get them excited about it if I don't have a connection.<br/>
<br/>
I've got a couple teachers already in England, France and Australia who have signed on to cover Kindergarten and 2nd grade. I wondered if you might have connections to help with the other continents. For 5th-7th, it's a bit different since they are studying ancient world history, so it would be cool to talk about the ruins, archeology, the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Sumerians, etc. that lived there. My ultimate dream would be connect to an expert, like an Egyptologist for example, and allow kids to ask questions.<br/>
<br/>
I know this is very vague and I'm sorry about that. I am just throwing a bunch of ideas out there to as many connections as I can think of to see what might "stick." If you think you could help, I would REALLY appreciate it!<br/>

SEEdebate is free and safe for students because it is closed. Students can't sign up without teacher codes to use.

Hi there - I am a 7th grade SS teacher in CT. I am looking to find other schools to collaborate - in the US or outisde the US. I am using a site that I helped to build at SEEdebate.org. SEEdebate is free and safe for students because it is closed. Students can't sign up without teacher codes to use. They are then within the teachers' "class" which makes it easier for teachers to pull up their students' comments. The comments are moderated too. You can design any type of discussion you want, some use it for simulations, wikis etc. Also, it is just a forum if you want to have students discuss with others. Anyway - I would love to get my students talking with other students aged 11 - 14!! Please let me know!

Several of our schools are using PSP's in their classes. They are now looking for other schools to collaborate with via PSP's on projects. Does your school use PSP's, and would they be willing to make connections with our schools?

<font size="4">What is it?:</font></span><br />
<br />
1.<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rotoball</span> is a black ball that transforms into something different for each person who comes into contact with it. The goal of the project is to keep the ball going as long as possible.<br />
2.<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rotoball</span> is a collaborative rotoscoped animation project for high school students in which each student creates a 15 second segment of a much longer animation. Its a unique opportunity to connect with other students who are geographically distant.<br />
