Around the World in a Minute: Let's Create Something Similar !

Take a look at the videos here: http://www.neatorama.com/2011/08/04/around-the-world-in-a-minute/. I'd love to do a project like this with schools. Any interest out there? We could focus on various themes with schools contributing short video clips. I could then stitch them together to make one video.

I really like the idea. If I could not get some of my teachers to participate I would without a doubt. It would be pre-service students from Kansas working with me in contributing to this project.

I would love to get my school involved in this!

I'm a videographer so if you need help with the edit, let me know, too!

I would love to do this with my students. What themes are you thinking of? Maybe something like Collaboration or Creation.

Sometimes I see that primary schools are neglected in these global projects. I think it would be fascinating to splice together different classrooms from around the words (primary) . To young students, they don't even realize their world is different yet. What a great way to show that. Add in a writing prompt, postcards(video) from a student at some of the schools about a day in the life...

Everyone, stay tuned... I need to convince my son's new teacher to participate! School starts next Tuesday, August 23, so I'll let you know when we're ready to start planning!
