Collaborative IVC Project Ideas

I am a member of CAPSpace and periodically I receive emails about teachers who are looking for other classes to participate in collaborative video conference projects. Now and then when something looks fun, I will post it here with the web address.

If you see something you like in the examples below, sign up for a CAPSpace account (or log in to your CAPSpace account) and click the links in this post so you can access contact information for the teachers who made each request.
