Connecting Classrooms via Skype

positivelypersistentteach:

talesofan8thgradeteacher:

Earlier PPT put out a simple idea: wouldn’t it be cool if classrooms could debate via Skype. And instantly I thought, “YEAH!”.

Well it seems that quite a few other teachers thought the same thing! 

To help those interested get connected, I thought I would go ahead and create a Google Form to help us get connected. I ask that you provide your Tumblr Name, grade level, and if you would prefer to get in contact via Tumblr or directly by an email you provide. If you’d like to share the subjects you teach and/or how you’d like to use Skype in the classroom, you can also give those specifics. This way, we can get in contact individually based on our needs and hopes for this project! Check out the form responses here.

I hope that helps everyone! Here’s to getting connected - I’m excited and I hope you are too! 

BOOST!  

Thanks tales for stepping up to organize this!

As requested, I am blogging this to TT.

High School Writing Prompts (Open Google Doc)

George Couros has created an open Google Doc for High School writing prompts. They’re broken down by discipline, and anyone can view and edit the document.

This is excellent, and worth a look.

Would any of you be interested in me extending this idea with Google Docs for other grade levels and topics here on Team Teachers? Drop me a line and let me know what you think would be valuable.
