Collaboration

My collaboration group is onto a bigger and better idea! We are all in agreement that we have hit a wall in regards to our tutoring idea. While if put into action I still think it could have a great effect on kids, its not really practical for our purposes.

Nina had the FABULOUS idea to create a website to help students new to our Country. We can have an area where they post videos talking about where they came from and what their experiences have been like. We can also have a place where parents can post about their experiences and perhaps chat with others to find support.

The BEST part of all of this is it is something we can totally do right now! I'm planning on starting a writing project with three of my kids as soon as we get back from vacation. We are going to talk about it this week and prepare (since I have lots of fun testing to do this week) so we can start right away.

I think Nina is going to update our Google Docs and gain the help of a parent for that section. We are all going to begin working with our students right away. I cant wait to begin web design so we can get it all set up!
