...and SPREADS!!!!!!!




Two other schools have also started using KLP with us - a school from Stoke-on -Trent has literally started their WHO ARE YOU? blogs today...




Their teacher heard me speaking in Sheffield about our collaboration and communication with Florida through KLP, and wondered if we could also communicate with him and the students!




Of course! No problem!




I created a page, set up a Blog and a set of discussions - sorted the permissions out so that they could use that part of our Learning Platform and we're away!!! The Time Travellers will be chuffed to bits when they log in tomorrow to see who has introduced themselves!




The beginning of a great friendship!




These two classes - as there is no time difference - will -I am sure be web conferencing wuite often!




I have also set up a similar page for our Explorers who are going to do some collaborative learning with a school just across the Midlands from us in Dudley! IT's all so exciting!

More web conferencing....

WEB CONFERENCING SPREADS!!!!


It is fantastic...we had our 2nd web conference with Double Branch recently after Goldie (our mascot) had arrived - he looked so different in his basketball top!!! We are so used to seeing him in his school uniform! The children were really excited to see him and find out what he'd been up to!!!! A few days later their mascot Woody arrived to sepnd some time with us!


A huge parcel arrived...full of all sorts of Disneyland and Florida goodies - it was a very special moment! All of Eureka's children also recieved a special hand written letter that was in reply to the one they had sent! Brilliant!


All this thanks to RM's amazing safe and secure Learning Platform - whatever did we do without it??????
