This afternoon, I presented a session at MACUL 2010 about the classic matching project used by so many in videoconferencing. It goes by many names: Monster Exchange, Monster Trade, Monster Match. Thank you to Janine Lim for being an excellent facilitator.

- Find a partner.
- Create a monster.

- Exchange descriptions with your partner.
- Create a second monster and try to match the original.
- Meet in video conference to see if there is a match.
Why?
- Helps teachers integrate technology with supports and protocols.
- Moves ideas to implementation.
