Sixth grade teachers, Mrs. Smith (Warren School), Mr. Pane (James Morris School), and Mrs. Larson (Goshen Center School), have found a way to bring their classes into 21 Century Learning by encouraging critical thinking and real world communication. They have been able to regularly connect book club groups from their individual classes located in three different towns without ever leaving their classrooms. How is this accomplished? Using a wiki created at pbworks.com. (A wiki is a collaborative website that allows users to edit, share, and create content.) The ReadingRulesRsd6 wiki was created as a working environment that allows students to share original points and respond to each other's ideas. Thoughtful, well written reflections are encouraged and expected. Students look forward to reading the different responses and viewpoints from peers who will one day be their classmates at Wamogo.

A great example of how students in our three schools can collaborate long before joining forces at Wamogo! I'm excited for the possibilities!
