Current Projects Outside of ITSCO

Chapters is a collaborative writing project for K-12 students.  Project teachers will propose a title for a chapter book.  One class will start the book by writing and posting the first chapter on the Chapters website.

The next class will write Chapter 2 and a third class will write Chapter 3.  All classes will write their own final chapter based on the previously written chapters.  Each class will present or act out their version of the final chapter in a multi-point video distance learning connection.

The North Central Ohio Educational Service Center will coordinate the Chapters project by maintaining the Chapters website, identifying participating classes, facilitating the culminating videoconference, and managing the video connection among the participating classes.  Check out our website, including other projects, at http://www.ncoesc.org/distancelearning.htm

If you are interested in participating, contact Kathy Mohr at kmohr@ncoesc.org.

After teachers are partnered for this project you will be contacted to establish the schedule for Chapters.  For example, you may choose to do the project during the fall, winter or spring (sometimes working around testing).
