This session will focus on utilizing free tools on the Internet for communicating collaboratively with others. See how one school district is using blogs to share student work, giving students ownership of their work, and fostering responsible use of the Internet for communication. Learn how video conferencing and private chat rooms are bringing authors, career professionals, and students from around the world into classrooms. Dabble with online whiteboard technology to create collaborative flowcharts and communicate with your students as they are thinking through a project. It's all about communication!
