Claire - We used Skype to contact classes from around New Zealand, Canada, the USA and the UK.The focus of the project was Dance. My class had re-written a song centred around the theme of globalisation and collaboration. They then connected with classes and shared their dance steps in SKYPE conferences. The classes then created their take on our dance moves and videoed their dances which they then shared in Dropbox. Our end of year dance featured these classes on the stage video behind my class performing. It was magic! :)

Gillian's idea I thought I would share something that is successful in my Year 3 & 4 class. I use this template for my daily maintenance each day. We have 20 questions with the potential for 30 as the year goes on and I use the Activ Board to project the questions. Each day we build on our knowledge and I just adjust the questions on a daily basis. It is quick and easy and has set up a fantastic routine for my class. I also put them on our school network so others teachers may use them if they choose.

Anne's idea [] I am introducing you to dipity! [] It is a collaborative timeline creator. You will see I have created an example using the history of our e-teach meets. It is easy to control who can view, contribute or edit and is very easy to update. I have seen it used for the history of an artist or art technique. It could be used with a class for events - such as World Cup results..., or inquiries - the possibilities are limitless!!!
