Our Technology Department will verify your equipment, make test calls, and set up connection details for you.

Read Around the Planet is a celebration of NEA’s Read Across America. Classrooms use

interactive video to connect with other classrooms “around the planet” and read to each other.

TWICE provides the registration tool, matches classrooms with partners, and provides support documents.

Your class will be matched with a class from a different location and each class will exchange reading activities. World language classes will receive a match with the same language, but may not be the same grade level. Classroom to classroom connections will take place February 23 – March 11, 2011.   Each connection is scheduled for an hour: 15 minutes for testing connections and introductions; 30 minutes for the reading activity (15 minutes per class); 15 minutes for exchanging information about respective schools and communities.   Activities can range from reading a favorite book passage, to a “battle of the books” format - see the box for other ideas.
