Video Introductions to Communities 2009
Hi folks! Each year, I've run a project inviting students in different parts of the world to introduce their communities using digital video. I've posted the details for this year's project at the following address: http://nextvista.org/projects/...

I'm spoken for in that slot, but I'll try to swing by at the end if possible - sorry I can't be there from the beginning!

I originally came by to see what my friend, Lucy had put together over here. I quickly became fascinated with the idea of global collaboration. I work in a small independent school which has an outdoor/adventure ed based curriculum. We have begun taking a serious look at Sustainability and how to weave it into our curriculum and day-to-day life at school. I'd love to talk to any others who are doing similar work. I teach K.

Hi Suzie,

Cool stuff! If you'd be interested, we could talk about how to create a simple video (slideshow, perhaps) with your kids narrating explaining what they've learned about inuksuks. I'd simply be curious about the pronuciation!

Hi Rushton,
I did not have a particular project in mind when I joined the group, but I have been looking for motivation to use more technology in my classroom.

Our class has been involved in a project "making connections with the earth. A study of rocks, sand and soil" for several months now. We have discovered inuksuks (artic rock sculptures) and have been pretty excited about building and learning about them. I was excited to learn that Maria's K class will be learning about inuksuks,too. Hopefully we can collaborate on some sort of project between the two of us.

But other than that I am just excited to see what is going on out there and perhaps find a way to collaborate and enhance my technology skills.

Suzie
