Fred Mindlin, CCWP Associate Director for Technology Integration and Project Director for our collaboration with NWP's Maker Project, had the opportunity to serve as a long-term substitute teacher in a second grade classroom at Ann Soldo School in the Fall of 2010. As part of writing instruction for the class, Fred introduced string games (Cat's Cradle) to provide a shared experience and opportunities for collaboration, peer teaching, and an activity to increase finger strength and dexterity for learning keyboarding.

Here's our first video about this project.
