This website has a some great virtual stuff-and is dubbed "NPR" for kids. It has a collection of virtual field trips where students can meet "fascinating people from all over the world." What I love is that it has a video collection of YA book reviews done by students. Your kids can send in video book reviews (on cd through snail mail) and if its chosen to be on the website your student gets a $25 gift certificate to amazon. The site also has video podcasting lessons. This website seems to be k-8.
Here is the website directly:

AWESOME!!! This is fantastic. I am going to assign my kids to do book reviews!
ReplyDeleteThis website is a great find. I like how it has a lot of presentations done by students. It has a wide variety of subjects too. The book reviews really seem to get to the heart of the book. I can see some of my students enjoying this format for sharing their reading. We could make a link on our school library website for other students to view. Of course it would be also great if they were published by Meet Me at the Corner.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!
I am checking this out too. I love new websites and finding new things to do with my students. Thanks
