How are we helping our students connect globally and know their place in the world?

Progressive Storytelling Project and Epals
We've signed up for this project and are all really excited about the possibilities.
We are grouped with 5 or 6 other classes from mainly the USA to collaborate on writing
a story that will be published using Voicethread - something else for the our class to
explore.
Each class completes a part of the story and it is then passed on to the next group who carry
it on. We also have to complete and photograph 3 pieces of art work to accompany the text.
All of this is completed on our wikispaces page.
Our co-ordinator then puts it all together to share with everyone.
The possibilities are endless and we are able to Skype our fellow writers, email, etc.
This could also be a possibility for what we do to learn about our place in the world by
linking up with a wider range of classes round the world. Can't wait to start this discussion
with Rm 8 tomorrow! I know they will come up with some fantastic ideas.
