What types of learning projects can be created when you collaborate with a teacher 7744 miles away?
Annette Lang and TW Williamson connected via twitter in Spring of 2015. Our first project consisted of TW's KAS students creating a fan fiction story based off a "Your Choice" book they had read that year. Students at Bio-Med Science Academy created GoAnimate videos trying to recreate a scene from the fan fiction provided. What resulted was a highly engaging project that led us to want to do more.
