Video Conference with Fort Wayne, Indiana

Today I video conferenced with an enthusiastic bunch of sixth graders in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The presentation was on Personal Narrative. During Questions and Answers, one student asked, "Will you write on your blog about us?" I took a poll of the class to see who liked the idea (it was pretty unanimous) and so, here you go!

The presentation went smoothly, and I was glad to see that the students had an answer ready for pretty much every question I asked. Definitely the class learned a lot, and they worked hard. Great job!

  2. You are a very inspirational young person! Perhaps you could videoconference with my seniors in Multicultural Literature class. I'm completing a master's degree in educational technology so I attempt to introduce new methods of using technology in my classroom regularly. From one teacher to another, would you be interested?

    Dear Adora....
    My name is Aron and I am introducing blogs to my Grade 7s. We looked at edublog's top ten list and found you! Very impressive. I love the fact that you share your learning with other classes around the country. I think we saw you on youtube one day when I was using a video to help communicate an idea about literacy. Do you have a link to other youtube videos?

  5. Wow! this is cool. I was wondering if you could share more of the pictures because I would like to propose the set up to my boss though. The points in this blog is really helpful, especially now that I am working on our website.
