Welcome



Storytelling is an ancient tradition for communicating information. The power of a story is just as powerful in the digital age, it has just changed media. Connecting different age groups, high school biology students in Texas wrote an animal story at the elementary level. These stories were shared with third grade students in New Jersey through synchronous video chat and asynchronously through a wiki. The third grade students develop "popsicle stick theater" style videos of their animal research which will be posted to the Wiki (Page 1, Page 2, Page 3). Students in each location will review and comment on each other's work while they connect through their animal stories.

This Collaborative Project was developed for the Siemens STEM Institute. See the project description at the Siemens STEM Academy.
