﻿﻿ ﻿ This project can be completed by the teacher for younger children, with the children adding to the voicethread, taking pictures, bringing in a recipe for "What's For Lunch?", joining in the Skype session, etc.

With older children, you can have them use the technology programs and upload to this site. As each section is complete you can use it for a class discussion.

Please add to the discussion page to share ideas on how you use this information in your classroom.



Welcome to the "It's A Small World" project. 1st I'd like to give credit to Johanna Van Ness, as this project is based on an idea that her project gave me. Please go to the "Global Project Schools" page to sign up. Post any comments or questions in the Discussion area.
