A third grade classroom in Upstate NY is looking for a distance learning partner to share in their culminating activity to a Simple Machines unit. Within their home classroom, students will be drawing a Rube Goldberg inspired invention, which is to include the specific steps of how it works. We hope to type the steps to inventions into Google Documents for a partner to view. Our hope is that the long distance partner would access Google Documents to access the written steps, have a chance to type in the document to ask any questions about steps that are unclear, and then attempt to draw the machine that they think matches the steps they were given. After online feedback happens, students would complete the drawing in their own classroom before classrooms meet up via a long distance connection. Students from one classroom would show their original drawing and see if it matches the drawing the partnering student came up with from their directions. One or both classrooms could complete original drawings and steps.
