 | A 12th Grade teacher in a suburban community on Long Island, NY, is looking for a teacher-partner, preferably with 12th grade students in an urban community, for a class-to-class collaboration using the movie “Blindside” as a springboard for discussion. Prior to the initial class-to-class videoconference connection, the teacher-partners will collaborate on questions to focus the students as they watch the movie. After viewing the movie, the students will videoconference with the distant class to discuss various topics from the film, such as unemployment, health care, career paths, living conditions, family structure (home life) as well as school experiences and sports. The project could involve more than one videoconference. In addition, the Long Island teacher would like to develop an online sharing environment for students to create a joint project. The project would take place during the next two months (April-May). The Long Island class can be flexible about the videoconference connection time (school day is 8:00-2:30 EST), but the best times would be either 8:38-9:18 or 1:02-1:42. The distant class must have IP videoconference equipment that transmits at H323. |
