I worked with several classrooms recently on some great projects. It is wonderful to see the students’ enthusiasm for what they are working on when technology is involved. Here are some things they have been doing.

1. Mr. Keck’s class is involved in Jennifer Wagner’s Holiday Card Exchange Project. His students are in the process of creating holiday cards that will be sent to other classrooms. Most of the classrooms are in the United States, but one is going as far as Seoul, North Korea. We will be mapping the location of all the cards that are received in Goggle Maps. You can find more information about the Holiday Card Exchange at http://sites.google.com/site/holidaycardexchange2008/.

2. Mrs. Miller’s classroom created websites containing reviews of books that they read in class. They were very excited that other students might be choosing books based on their recommendations. You can see their reviews on the Ferron Elementary Website http://www.ccsd.net/schools/ferron/projects.html.

3. Ms. McDonald’s class looked at Jennifer Gingerich’s Thanksgiving Dinner Podcast (http://web.me.com/jennifergingerich/jennifergingerich/Blog/Blog.html) and was inspired to make one of their own. Check out their rendition at http://www.ccsd.net/schools/ferron/projects.html. Every time I hear them singing, I can’t help but smile.
