I was really torn yesterday afternoon, so now I can feel "caught up" on the session I missed! Thanks for the notes, Wes!

I have a 4th grade class studying NY Native Americans and am collaborating with a teacher in South Carolina. We are using CommunityWalk maps (http://tinyurl.com/24tyen) and will have our students place geographic markers of the tribes they studied on the map. Those markers will have introductory podcasts and a link to their Voicethreads where they will present their research about their tribes. Students are doing their research in a wiki and then will synthesize their research into a presentation on Voicethread. We also have a teacher wiki - http://trailfirstpeopleteachers.wikispaces.com/ -for teachers to communicate and share ideas. I love the idea of storymapping and using another web 2.0 tool to add to my students' understanding of how geography played such an important role in the lives of the people they are studying. It is the essential question of the unit and I am having them blog about it this week in our classroom blog - http://tinyurl.com/3eyfpf I am in the middle of a project I created that incorporates storymapping.
