Very cool session on collaborative carbon footprint reducing using wiki’s and a carbon footprint website.

A collaborative lesson on blogging, voice thread, skype and google earth with Primary classes teaching each other about things that they know about e.g. North americans teaching Australian kids about maple syrup making and Aus kids teaching North American kids about little penguins

Students value connectiveness as their birthright, we power them down when we take off their mobiles. Second Life used in learning, students pick u the scripting really easily, they have a private island on the teen grid of second life. The students can only get onto their private area with their school accounts.  There is constant adult supervision adults who are invited onto the island such as NASA specialist they have to undergo a police check etc. This is used in a Health and wellness class, 8th grade, 4 55 minute lessons. www.campaignforrealbeauty.com Project is to make their avatar look much like they are in real life. Then like the media would say is beautiful, the third day is to make a oppoisite gender avatar, Students starting to really get angry about the media portrayal of beauty. The final day was to get the avatar to look how they would like them to look like then reflect on the experience. Teachers get transcript of all chat sessions held in Second Life.
