 * I'm the Gifted Resource Teacher at Walton, so I work with students who need extra challenge and independence in their learning. I like to tell the kids I'm there for all of the fun lessons! Our kids are motivated and hard-working, but they like to take the time to learn about the communities and cultures of our partner schools. || We've participated for four years and have great internet access. We have one team for the whole school, so 6th-8th graders participate. We like to work in the secondary division even though we have some younger students. We have won merit awards as well as Bronze and Gold awards during the four years we've participated. ||
 * ====Areas of interest for team collaborative project==== ||
 * Our students are very concerned with disaster relief and helping out with extreme catastrophes. Alternately, a focus on racial prejudice, religious intolerance, or LGBTQ+ rights would suit my students interests. || We're a club, not an academic class. Students will work at the end of the day during their 27 minute enrichment time. It gets tight near the deadline, but the students are used to the schedule! All students have a school laptop, which they can bring home to use over breaks and vacations. Also, most students have access to other useful technologies. We've been using Google and Edmodo for years now, so the studnets are familiar with the formats. ||
