DreamExtreme Episode 15
Welcome to the fourth DreamExtreme podcast episode for the 2008/2009
school year!
Our fifth grade students have spent the past couple of weeks reading the book "Love That Dog" by Sharon Creech. The book contains references to many different poems, and our class has looked at, thought about, and responded to many of them.
This podcast features five poems written by DreamExtreme students in response to the poem "Dog" by Valerie Worth. Each poem features a different animal.
A very fun part of our in-class activities is that we are collaborating with the South Paris Collaborative class from Long Island, New York. Students from the two classes have been working together online using a wiki, and in real time using Skype video conferencing.

The class should make a video of the dream extreme theme song that is played on the podcast.
Hi, I was looking for good student made podcasts and I found yours. I really like your beginning. I wonder how you did it!
I am taking graduate classes at the University of Connecticut in Educational Technology. My assignment was to find a classroom website that utilized technology to enhance learning. I am extremely impress by your site but also by the work of your students. Amazing work – thanks for letting me view it.
