Videoconferencing Collaborative Projects

A collaborative videoconference project gives you and your students an opportunity to learn with another school or classroom. There are many possibilities. Some projects are planned by educational service agencies, and others are planned by teachers and tech coordinators.

TWICE Projects

ASK: Author Videoconferences: TWICE partners with various ISDs around Michigan to bring ASK Author videoconferences. ASK (“Authors Specialist and Knowledge”) is an organized process that provides students with the opportunity to interview an author or a subject specialist in the topic they are reading about in a novel. The program uses excellent literature, journal writing and interviewing to promote reading for understanding.

Collaborations Around the Planet: A global directory based on the Read Around the Planet registration database. Share the flyer with your teachers. Alternatively, you can use this CAPspace Scavenger Hunt flyer.

Read Around the Planet: Connecting classrooms for literacy. TWICE provides a matching service for point-to-point videoconferences between schools. Includes World Languages and regular English reading exchanges.

Michigan Week Connections: TWICE invites you to participate in a celebration of Michigan Week in May. Choose Michigan Exchange or Where in Michigan?

We the Kids: A new project for the new 4th grade curriculum. 5th grade classes are welcome too.
