Since 2010, I have been partnering with our 4th grade teachers to add content to the Global Read Aloud Wiki. It has been an amazing experience. The teachers read the book aloud in their classroom and then in 21st Century Learning class we create Animotos, iMovies, Popplets and other activities to discuss and demonstrate our learning. We read the book with other kids around the world on an agreed upon schedule. We are able to embed technology products created by the students about that section of reading, Skype with others reading the book and open lines of communication! It is a One Book One World experience. This year, they added an upper grades text and I can't wait to find some partners with that title. Explore and sign up, you won't be sorry!
