You guessed it! Baltimore!
As you may know, Ms. Fullerton’s Class (along with Mrs. Ah Hee and Kumu Kala’s classes) is collaborating with a class in Baltimore.
On Tuesday it was the second graders turn to meet their new friends in Baltimore. And they were VERY excited! That morning I had bus duty and the keiki kept reminding me that we had a Skype at 9 am 🙂 As if I would forget!
Our first step before Skyping was using Google Earth to get a visualization of Baltimore! Much to our surprise look at what we found when we typed in Baltimore. Wow! Many of our initial wonderings were about what life might be like in such a big city.
In the video below you will see some pics and short video clips of our Skype. Below the Skype video there is a short slideshow of the second graders hard at work on their first project that they will be sharing with the students in Baltimore, an All About Me PowerPoint slide. The students will use a neat web tool called Edmodo to share their slides. Then they will be able to ask questions and have discussions with each other.
Don’t you love the amazing ways technology can help us learn and connect with people far away! I sure do 🙂 And a big Mahalo to Emily for helping to take photos and video. Great Job!
