One of my favorite technology tools to use with my students is called Voicethread. It is a hard tool to explain, but it is an online file sharing program that allows anyone who is invited to comment on what you share. You can share a Power Point or a picture or a series of pictures or even a video clip. I took part in an awesome collaborative lesson with a classroom half-way across the country last year. My classroom along with 49 other classes around the country added things about their home state to this collaborative project including eceonomy, toursim, natural resources, sports and more! Imagine...students teaching other students all across the country!
Below I have posted the link to that project. Just imagine how engaging of a lesson this was for students to take part in! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about using this tool in your classroom! I have used it in several different ways.
