Submission Materials
Submission Field : Brainstorming idea - Understanding the social nature of on-line collaborative or community groups for middle school students. It would be based on applying a face to face approach to the virtual approach. This approach might be blended, on-line and face to face. I'm looking at using Gutherie and McCann's Idea Circle framework. It seems to be a hybrid of literacy and jigsaw circles. Additionally, the issue of safely accessing community groups would be addressed. // This is interesting but pretty big. Do you want to look at ways that the community groups for middle schoolers are particularly focused on science? //

// Or on interdisciplinary understanding (I'm thinking, for instance, of science fiction or Young Adult lit?)... Safety is almost necessarily an issue to bring in to this, I agree. This might be something to think about - are you imagining school-based social groups? or outside of the typical school experience? Are you thinking connections (for instance) across states and other borders? //

// We can keep talking about this as you think about what you want to pursue. You might want to start with a product - what do you want to create as a result of your inqury into these issues? //

// Lesson plans or a unit? A theoretical paper? A website that would promote such communities? //
