FlickrEDU: Flat Bobby
via Amber: "These are the adventures of Flat Bobby. Flat Bobby is a close cousin of Flat Stanley. Flat Bobby has been sent out to several people all around the world.
If you would like to invite Flat Bobby into your home, please read the Bobby's letter and let me know. This is my school project.
If you would like to participate by downloading a Flat Bobby clone and taking him on a journey, please feel free to do so. I got the official rule that Flat Bobby is allowed to travel through the internet. Thank you! "
No Amber, thank you! This is a fantastic idea!
There are so many skills being utilized in this type of project. First and foremost, kids are able to utilize several types of social media to learn about world geography and different cultures.
In addition, children are getting the opportunity to develop writing, vocabulary, problem-solving, and technology skills all while engaged in a situated and active learning environment.
What other types of social media tools can students use to document Bobby's travels? There are so many possibilities!
Students can use Yahoo! Trip Planner to plot out Bobby's next adventure and learn more about the museums, parks, and other cultural sites in the countries Bobby is visiting. Once Bobby sends his pictures to the classroom, students can create a Flickr photo album in the Trip Planner!
As Bobby meets kids in other countries, teachers can use collaborative web tools like YackPack to provide students with opportunities for cross-cultural exchange and friendship. Students can use PowerPoint and ProfCast to create and publish a podcast of Bobby's adventures!
Thanks again Amber. Best wishes to Flat Bobby for continued safe travels!
