Description |
| Read Across America Event, March 2006 |
TWICE annually organizes a special celebration of the national NEA event “Read Across America” by providing the opportunity for schools in the continental United States to connect using two-way interactive video to both read to and be read to by another class. The purpose of this celebration is to have students reading to students. What they read is your choice i.e., a Dr. Seuss book (this event is in honor of his birthday), a book about your community, a poem or an original story your class wrote. Just pick something you and your students love! This project is FREE and open to all K-12 students in public and private schools. However, you must have access to ISDN (H.320) or IP (H.323) codec equipment to participate. |
