Why Use LIVE Video on the Internet?
Classroom-to-Classroom Learning 

We are continuing to experiment with live video on the Internet.

Newest Contacts: Mrs. Wain's class at Rowsley Primary in Derbyshire, England, and Mr. Greenberg's kids at Columbia Elementary in Bridgeport, CT.

We continue to work with Mrs. Black's 4th grade in Naches, Washington and Mr. Meyer's class in Laingsburg, Michigan. 

As this page develops, will show you some of the learning we are sharing with students who are a VERY long way from Hannibal, Missouri.

Our main video partner has been Mrs. Black's class in Naches, WA. In the last three years we have had many conferences playing with topics such as geography, wildlife, math, and just generally letting the kids learn to have conversations through a video camera. Sessions have been as short as 20 minutes and as long as 90 minutes depending on the lesson plans.

 

One of our most challenging projects so far was a live video conference on Mark Twain with 4th grade students from Horseheads, New York. We presented information on the early years of Mark Twain's life, while the Horseheads students discussed the later years. We both had Mark Twain impersonators at our conferences!
