We thought we had it cold here in New Jersey.  Dial the thermometer down about 80 more degrees in the other direction and you will know what it felt like to get to school in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan on Thursday.  You will also know a little bit about the process of muffin making courtesy of the student perspective and some ipads which recorded and edited the event. You can see it here.  Being that many of her students were sitting this one out with a 58 below wind chill she took the opportunity to have the children who did make it out make muffins in the classroom and to make sure they recorded it.  The videos are posted on their blog site and each student added their video posting to their personal blog site.  A second video blog post shows the use of Skype in their classroom.  The video through interviews of the children and still images shows how they invite classrooms and guests from different professions to their classroom via Skype.  The students have spoken to nurses, astronauts and other classrooms around the world, learning about indigenous animal life and customs from Eastern Europe to the Caribbean.  Using this technology to open your four walls to the rest of the world is not only easier than ever, its providing students with global perspectives and experiences that books never could.
