When it comes to swimming the digital waters with your students do you?...

1. Put on floaties (and a life vest) and avoid the water!

2. Dip your toes in to test the water?

3. Wade in the shallows?

4. Swim, but only with floaties.

5. Dive on in!  No floaties needed!

Give your Stick Swimmer a facial expression and tape to the beach scene.

Today's other objective:  

Tweet, Tweet, Tweet!

Elementary students are more resourceful than you may realize.

Let them begin to learn how to communicate and collaborate!  (Remember the 4C's?)

in your classroom?
