Its time to Start thinking about the Global Read Along 2015!!


I love when I'm inspired beyond my core subject of art. Global Read Along is a movement is an amazing program that allows students to connect from around the world. 
Students read the book then connect with other classrooms from across the globe to talk about the book! Sign up now for the 2015 school year! 




From the: http://www.globalreadaloud.com/p/faq.html

The premise is simple; we pick a book to read aloud to our students during a set 6-week period and during that time we try to make as many global connections as possible. Each teacher decides how much time they would like to dedicate and how involved they would like to be. Some people choose to connect with just one class, while others go for as many as possible. The scope and depth of the project is up to you. In the past we have used Twitter, Skype, Edmodo, our wiki, email, regular mail, Kidblog, and any other tools we can think of to make these connections. Teachers get a community of other educators to do a global project with, hopefully inspiring them to continue these connections through the year.
