How do students from distant schools communicate with one another?
Google Drive will be the main platform where students are working. All students participating in COLLABORATE! Math Fair will sign up with their parent and teacher approval. Sharing will be done only with members of the immediate learning community, i.e, the students, teachers, and parents participating in the math fair. Parents should assist students with the signup process for Google Drive. You can reach the appropriate site by clicking on the image to the left.
As Google will be a major platform for our community to be using, it only makes sense for classrooms, students, and teachers, to use Google Hangouts. By joining the Google+ community, students open a wide variety of educational opportunities. By safely monitoring student work, both at home, and at school, students will be introduced to a tool that will propel them into their futures. Again, if you click on the image to the left, it will take you to a page where you can learn more about Google+ and Hangouts in particular. *Keep in mind that your partner for the project will have to have the same method for communicating as you do. Skype would be another option for students to collaborate from long distances. Click on the link to the left to learn more about Skype, as well as how to sign up. *Keep in mind that your partner for the project will have to have the same method for communicating as you do. FaceTime is yet another option for you to consider!
