Communicating with a Variety of Media

Fifth graders from an urban school in Kaohsiung have the opportunity to collaborate with students from Northern Potter Children's School in rural Ulysses, PA. We are using edmodo, google docs, and skype as the primary platforms for our exchanges with Northern Potter. However, students are also enjoying the thrill of receiving a handwritten letter from across the world. We are now in the second year of the exciting exchange.
Sharing Work using Google Drive
Students from Northern Potter and KAS share writing samples with one another via google docs. Using the commenting portion of google docs, students can comment on one another's writing. Having another audience with which to share their writing has increased students' excitement about publishing and sharing their work.
