A contact I have recently made in the UK and I are about to embark on a project using Viocethread and a Teddy Bear. The basic idea is that the bear comes to school, has its picture taken in various places around the school and the students add the commentary. Of course, depending on your location, you may wish to have the bear travel home with students or, time permitting, join the class on field trips. After a period of time yet to be determined, Teddy is packed up and shipped to another school. Think of it as a plush Flat Stanley project. Teddy has yet to be named (my contact in the UK is having her kids do that) and will arrive at my school in Ontario, Canada in the (hopefully) near future. If you'd like to join us in this project, drop me a line and I'll get back to you. Pete
