McDermon, L. (2010). Bring the world into your classroom. Learning and Leading with Technology,38(2), Retrieved from http://www.iste.org/learn/publications/learning-and-leading/digital-edition-september-october.aspx
The author discussed how to incorporate videoconferencing in the classroom to share information with students from different parts of the world. McDermon also mentioned that it could be like going to a museum without actually going anywhere. You can also get historians and other professionals to videoconference with the class. The author express how this is any excellent way to expand students learning of the world around them, as they can get information and ideas from people in different areas than their own.
Question #1:How could I implement videoconferencing in the classroom?
I think that it would be really cool to have the students put on a play that they could present to another class on something they learn during the year. The presentation would be a class project full with costumes and lines memorized and rehearsed. I think the students could have a lot of fun with this project and they could learn a lot about the given subject of the play.
Question #2: How could I fund or find away to get the materials necessary for such a project?
I could ask around the community if there is anyway we could borrow the video camera and their services to help actually film the students. I could also talk to the principle, other teachers and parents for support. I would also ask if they had any ideas on how to make this a possibility in the classroom.
