Grade 8: Pen Pals

Objective of Collaboration		I have a school who would like to do an 8th grade collaboration with another American/Canadian/English speaking group that would enjoy being pen pals. I teach 8th grade Language, and thought letter writing would be fun, with a monthly visit from the students either as a group, or perhaps even in small groups.

Grades 6-8: Students Wanted to Share Multimedia Projects With

Contact Information		Tara Walter Education: Teacher Southern Lehigh Middle School Education: Middle/Jr. High Center Valley, PA United States Phone: (610) 282-3700 ext. 6121 waltert@slsd.org
Objective of Collaboration		I teach 7th and 8th grade students at a middle school in Pennsylvania. The course I teach is only 36 days long. At the end of the course, my students create collaborative multimedia projects about topics they want to promote awareness about. They choose their own learning, work in collaborative, cooperative groups to research, and they get to choose how to display their project (iMovie, webpage, Prezi, Keynote, etc.). The kids would like to have an audience to share their projects with and to interact through a videoconference. Our time line is strict due to layout of course and the school year ending.
Time Frame		June 2011
Target Audience		Education: Grade(s): 6, 7, 8
Disciplines		Best Practice, Problem Solving, Technology/Information Science
