Making classroom connections with other classes around the world.
Have you been looking for a way to connect with other classrooms around the world but never really knew how to get started? Classroom Bridges (CB) helps put classrooms in touch with each other. CB is Katie Siemer’s Google Innovator project and is designed to help develop global and cultural awareness along with collaboration skills.
How to use the Classroom Bridge
- Fill out the form on the Sign Up page to let other teachers know you are willing to connect.
- Go to the Find a Classroom page once you have signed up to find another classroom to start connecting. On this page, you can filter your search by location, grade level, subject area and more.
- Contact the other teacher with information they provided (email, social media, etc.). Together, the two (or more) of you will work together outside of this website to develop your classroom connection activity/project.
That is all you need to do to begin to make connections. If you are looking for ideas of what to do once you
make the connection, CB has a Resource page that has a few suggestions. I know we have a lot of creative
teachers in this district so coming up with ideas should not be difficult.
