Skype, Alan November and Intel

5/2/2011

Look who tweeted about our online wikibook. Yes Ashton Kutcher twitted it out. That was cool to see.

Today, we skyped to LA and did an interview with Alan November. It was hosted by Intel and Ashton Kutchers Production company: Katalyst Films. It should be posted onto Youtube in the next 48 hours. The live stream was watched by lots of people and tons of twitter messages about the event. People were really excited about the online book. Mr. P and I were very proud of the work students over the years have put into the book and are excited for you all to get building. I will post the interview on this blog when it is live again.

Also want to thank the parents and students who were involved in the interview. You were awesome.

Over springbreak, several students traveled far away from Beachwood. I asked the to take pictures, film, whatever they could do to show what they can "See" in the world around them that we have learned about this year. The following is two film clips from Hannah and Hannah. First we, skyped them in their RV while in SC driving down I-95 and then their short movie on the Enduring Impacts. Great Job.

For the last two weeks, I have helped Mrs. Goodman's reading class connect with Mrs. Holman's (my wife) Kindergarten class for reading time via Skype. Beachwood students review the site words, letters of the week and read a story that deals with the weeks theme.

I took a few pictures, however, they are not that good. But you can see the idea of how it is working. We are looking at possible ways to set up a math tutoring session and more. 21st Century skills in actions.
