Yesterday there was a little bit of a spark in the air as children from Carronshorehelped us with our poetry on our wikispace. Nothing was particularly planned, we just followed up a comment on the class blog after asking for some contributions.
The children from Carronshore wrote their “If I were and If you were” poetry contributions on our wikispace as we also added our “Sick” poem rhyming couplets as we had done on post it notes in class.
It would have been really nice to have worked on something in real time or use Skype and/or messaging to chat as we worked. Let me know if anyone would like to do more of this.
Just is a great reminder how simple technology can help create great collaborative opportunities between children from different parts of the world.
