The Collaboration Continues!
Posted by super7scoopers on November 25, 2010
Skyping has become almost a daily experience in Room 7 at the moment. We are all getting a turn at leading skype sessions with classes from around the country and the world. Our latest skype was with the famous Room 162 who work with Mr Miller in California, USA.
We are slowly putting together a dance that celebrates our learning this year especially our blog, the teachers who have left comments and the collaborative projects we have had running over the year with classes from around the world.
This project has given us even more valuable learning experiences. You see, yesterday Mr Miller recorded his class learning our dance with us on skype. (See the video below.) We could see and hear ourselves from their perspective and decided on our own “next steps” for skyping and giving instructions better. We also realised how hard it must be to learn a dance with the transmission interruptions that come with skype. Having said that, dance has been a fantastic thing to share as we focus on the oral language skills needed to skype well.
We would like to thank Mr Miller and his class for a fantastic session – we had a lot of fun and are really grateful for their help

Wow! You guys are fantastic dancers! That looked like so much fun. Was that during gym or music class? At our school, we do a ballroom dancing session during gym. It’s similar to your class but we use slower music. We hope we do a fun dance like yours.
