I will be a 1 to 1 educator this year and I would like to do the following project. Is there anyone who is interested in having our classrooms re-enact and re-imagine the American Revolution, The Civil War, WWII?<br />
<br />
The project is called "How Could War Look Different?" It is a two part online project that can be applied to any war (People have signed up for the American Revolution, the Civil War and WWII). The first half re-enacts the wars online and the second half of the project re-imagines the…

The project is called "How Could War Look Different?" It is a two part online project that can be applied to any war (People have signed up for the American Revolution, the Civil War and WWII). The first half re-enacts the wars online and the second half of the project re-imagines the acts of war through the lens of peace.<br />
<br />
I've attached the program. Please let me know if you are interested and feel free to send it along to any of your colleagues that you feel might want to take part.<br />
<br />
Be well.<br />

I am using it with 11th graders in US History. I would try it with 10th graders, but not with 9th or lower. You're right about everyone getting done on time.<br />
<br />
The students work a week ahead. I present every other chapter--giving them time to prepare their own. It's a nice change of pace.<br />
<br />
They have to prepare their work without my overview--though they sometimes make last minute changes after we have discussed earlier questions in class.<br />
<br />

<br />
Your two-week schedule would be nice, but my syllabus doesn't allow for it. 30 chapters in 30 weeks!<br />
<br />
As for extension activities, I often examine primary sources in class.<br />
<br />
By "responsible", all I can say is that I test every two weeks with multiple choice and short essay questions.<br />
<br />
Happy to help.<br />

David, what class do you use your CC2 projects in? I like the idea, but my only concern would be students who don't get their work done on time. I teach freshmen U.S. History, 11th grade sociology, and 7th grade World Cultures. Is this something you find works better for upper classmen? How long do you give them to get their presentations done. When you begin a new chapter do you give a broad overview, assign them the different sections with questions to answer, allow them a week or so to…

This is something I would like to do here in upcoming weeks with my Sociology class and I hope you could clarify exactly your process.

I am also a beginner to web 2.0 technologies. We're getting ready to do Podcasts using gabcast.com over Imperialsm and I am regularly using cell phones in class. So many of my students have cell phones that I figured I might as well embrace the technology. We use cites such as <a href="http://www.wiffiti.com">www.wiffiti.com</a> and <a href="http://www.polleverywhere.com">www.polleverywhere.com</a>.

That is my situation. I make sure I allow enough time for the students to complete the task in the classroom. (Of course it helps to have enough computers for all students too, I don't know if that is your situation)<br />
<br />
If there is a computer lab or something to that extent somewhere in the building that the students have access to before and after school that fixes the problem of students not having access at home to finish assignments.<br />

I have found that some web 2.0 resources can be worked on at home and then spend a little classtime putting the information into the web 2.0 feature. Such as giving the students a topic to think about a write responses to, then post them on a blog or forum during class and respond to other students' postings.
