I would like to collaborate with other middle schools (grades 6,7,or 8) to have a videoconference experience to share ideas about Digital Citizenship. I am very open to any suggestions of the conference format. I want to introduce my students to videoconferencing and have them be able to participate and interact with others. I only have each group of my students for 36 days, and then I get a whole new group. I have my current students until April 20, so I am looking to have a videoconference before then. I am flexible with times since I have so many different groups of students. Please email me if interested.
