Read Across America goes Global!!!
TWICE (Two-way Interactive Connections in Education) is offering classrooms the opportunity to participate in a videoconference event in celebration of reading. Similar to the traditional “Read Across America” events, this activity will allow students to share with a partner classroom somewhere in the US or world. Students would create their own books, skits, game show, etc. which would be shared via a videoconference with another class and see what that class had to share with them! A district tech specialist will work with interested teachers throughout the process. Registration is due soon, so email me if you are interested for details! For more information, as well as a photo gallery of what other classes have done, go to http://www.twice.cc/read/

WHERE IN PA?
This PDE-sponsored project is designed for 4th grade students studying Pennsylvania geography and history. Using Elluminate, five classrooms will meet other students while learning about different parts of the state! Prior to the webinar, each classroom will create a presentation with clues about their city or town. The other classrooms, using maps, the Internet, textbooks, and other resources, will try to discover the location of each participating classroom.
Classrooms that are selected will participate in one webinar based on school location and availability of event dates. There will be a total of seven Where in PA webinars for the 2009-2010 school year.
