My interaction with the Grade 5 class from Crozet has been really insightful for me as well as the students.  I was worried before about how things were kind of slow at first but we are in full speed now and I have been helping the students with everything that they have been doing with their wikis.  The students are asking questions/suggestions on their independent studies and I have been sending them Jings to help them.  The students are enjoying the Jings, and I am definitely having fun creating them! 

The amazing thing about collaboration with this class is that they are giving me great resources that I will be able to use in my classroom.  One of the students was asking for help for her independent study and showed me a website called WallWisher.  It is like a big bulletin board where you are able to create post it notes with text, video and audio and collaborate together on whatever topic you choose.  The student was working on book review on this program which was a great idea! 

The students wanted to learn more about lit circles because this is something that they want to start doing in class.  Mrs. White did not know too much about Lit Circles so I ended up doing some research and created a Glog for them to learn more about lit circles.  I was able to tie in my “Teach Us” for March with my collaboration project which was really cool for me.  Here is my Lit Circle Glog!
