Hi Teachers! This has been shared out before, but it's been a while. Just wanted to take a moment to share one of many communities where teachers are looking to connect their classes with others. If you scan the site, you'll see all different grade levels, around the world, looking to connect with others.
It could be YOU and your students!!
We'd love to help get you connected, so please let us know if you see anything that sparks your interest OR if you would like any help writing your own post.
There are many many different versions of connecting. A Mystery Hangout is often played much like 20-Questions -Neither side knows where the other is located (the teachers usually do and will plan it out ahead of time). Jeanne Salazar does an awesome MATH Mystery Number instead of guessing the location ~ the students solve math riddles together and complete a mystery picture on a hundreds chart (created by the other class) as they go. There can be connections specific to novels read, Science concepts and so on. We had a Mystery Connection in Music class one year and the two classes sang holiday songs together in the end! We could even connect you with an expert based on what you're discussing in class.
Breaking down the walls of the classroom, connecting, collaborating and sharing with others is so incredibly powerful. Your students will always remember the experience.
We have many getting started resources to share if you're interested as well. Give us a shout!
