High School Collaboration

Today, Mrs. Hart's 3rd graders participated in a lesson with a group of Southwest High School's 10th graders.  The high school students worked to create a lesson for the students and read two books, Hooray for Diffendoofer Day by Dr. Seuss and A Bad Case of the Stripes by David Shannon, to the 3rd grade students.  After reading each book, the high school students would ask the 3rd graders comprehension questions and discuss the answers and supporting details from the book.  The students communicated through our Onslow View machine, which is a large television and camera system that is similar to Skype or Facetime, but geared towards schools and allows us to contact all the schools in Onslow County, as well as other schools and areas that participate with Onslow View.  I plan on using this technology to set up virtual field trips next year!
