Why Collaborate?
Posted on 11/01/2009 8:30pmWhy do teachers often work in isolation? So often we make lesson plans by ourselves, come up with our own unit projects alone, and try to find ways to improve our instruction. We forget that there is power in numbers. It is important that we work on developing conversations and networks with colleagues who have similar interest. Through collaboration we grow as educators and we inspire and energize one another. Collaborating improves instruction. How often have you wanted to take on a project but you were not sure how to implement it? There might be someone out there to give you some guidance or wants to do the same thing. What do you want to collaborate on? Post it here, let us know, we are waiting.

Posted on 11/03/2009 8:50pmCollaboration on Digital Insect Collection?
My classroom created a digital insect collection using Voicethread. We are very interested in receiving comments from other students/teachers on the insects. We also would like to partner with a class from somewhere else in the US or World to compare insects found in our school backyards. I have some materials I would be willing to share if your class is interested. My students also are preparing insect investigations to share at a schoolwide Insect Fair next week, and many groups will be presenting at an Insect Fair at the University of Minnesota in December. Please contact me at moranm@district279.org, and see/comment on our digital insect collection at http://voicethread.com/share/634690/

Posted on 11/05/2009 9:12amI know that Eric Sheninger (http://www.edutopia.org/user/137) does a lot with Skype in his school. It may be a good place to start if you ask him.

Collaboration...
I am looking for a classroom to Skype with. I am also in Oak Harbor... 4/5 split. Maybe do a PBL (project based learning)project or something.
