Check out this presentation by first graders who are retelling the story of Wangari's Trees of Peace by Winter. I am SO impressed with their drawings, their voices, and their use of technology! You will be, too!
Think what they are learning: reading, writing, speaking, illustrating, presenting, sequencing, summarizing, AND technology!

Another Collaborative Writing Tool
It seems like there is a new web tool invented everyday! Here's a cool one for collaborative writing: Collaborative Ink. It is probably a bit more powerful than you will need for your group assignment, but one that looks pretty interesting. You might want to bookmark it for another group project in another class. See the video here.
Oh, yes! It's free!
Group Project
There is one group project this semester and it is coming up soon. You'll be working together to create an Internet scavenger hunt. (There's an example in your textbook and more in the project description.)
You can vote on the way the groups are formed in the column at the right. Scroll down to MAKE YOUR MARK. The current deadline for voting is January 18, but I may move that up to give you a bit more time on your project.
The project will be submitted in WORD and you can complete the work any way you'd like--email, discussion groups, telephone...You might try Google Docs if you've never tried that before. See more information here. Today I found another collaborative writing tool: WriteWith. Check out the video.
Whatever your group agrees to use as a tool is fine. The process is as important as the product.
