Mike sent me a text two days ago at 7:50am. A student of his had just ran into the classroom to tell him something important. The story goes something like this. When I went to Giant Eagle with my mom, I saw "Sara" from the skype lesson with Beachwood . I went into the hall and found "Sara" She had a story as well. "When I walked to Giant Eagle with my family, this girl ran up and said I know you. You taught us the lesson on the Reformation using skype today." The story goes on...the families talked and the kids explained how much they liked the lesson. "Sara's" dad, according to Sara had a hard time understanding what was going on. What a small world
Giant Eagle may not be in our standards, but the opportunity to collaborate with each other allowed these two students, whom would have probably never met, to create a connection in the classroom and carry it into the "real world". The walls of the traditional classroom are truly being broken down.
