Christine, My name is Dean Mantz. I am the Director of Technology for Unified School District 405 in Lyons, Kansas. You can visit us at www.usd405.com. I know of several teachers within my district that would be happy to collaborate and conduct projects. Just let me know what time fram and topic ideas you are considering.
Hi Dean. I don't have any definite plans at this stage. For this age group I was thinking tentatively of using a blog and incorporating VoiceThread. Students could record a brief introduction using VoiceThread and a group photo. Perhaps also a 'talking book' using SlideShare. I have 3 weeks from Monday 8th October (tomorrow) with this class.
