To kick off their unit, “Friends are important to have,” these TK-ers from Chase and Jamacha shared what they know about friends with each other via Google Hangout. This is the first time TK teachers ventured into “hanging out” and as you can clearly see from the picture, the kids absolutely LOVED it.​ They didn’t know other TKers even existed, and seeing them on the “big screen” was SO COOL. They plan to Hangout again during and after their unit and to see how the students’ views of friendship have changed after reading books, watching videos and singing songs about friends.

TK teachers were so excited with how the Hangout went with their students, they set up time Monday afternoon to collaborate digitally with TK teachers from around the district via Google Hangout. ​Being the only TK teacher at their site didn’t stop these teachers from collaborating. In addition to “hanging out,” they continue to collaborate digitally through Edmodo and meet face-to-face in each other’s classrooms as their schedules allow.
