|| **Sir Edmund Hilary VoiceThread ** || This project is a tribute to Sir Edmund Hilary. It is created using a public [|voice- thread]. Students from this class and around NZ were encouraged to add their own opinions, feelings and set goals related to characteristics that Sir Edmund demonstrated. This [|voice- thread]is made up of 5 pages, each with a separate image related to Sir Edmund. [|Ms Hellyer] from [|Taradale Intermediate School] began this topic at the beginning of the school year by discussing in class the qualities of good learners, qualities of greatness and the qualities of awesome people. || ||   Chrissy Hellyer, Taradale Intermediate School, New Zealand. http://teachingsagittarian.edublogs.org http://www.room18tis.wikispaces.com http://room18tis.edublogs.org http://room18tis.learnerblogs.org ||

|| =====<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> **Project Lemonade** ===== || This collaborate programme is driven by a series of essential questions which are used to connect the classrooms across the globe as they work on solving their chosen issues. The Big Ideas used to guide them include: How can kids make a difference? When life hands "you" lemons, what will "you" do? || || This project was developed by [|Lower Merion School District] in Ardmore and inspired by the true story of Alex Scott, Project Lemonade.

Students from four year four classes have been collaborating with each other for over 18 months, various projects have been implemented using a wide range of online utilities, visit the blog links below to read about each initiative. It has even been extended to collaborative team teaching, with me, David Kinane remotely teaching via web 2.0 utilities, Helen's and Jim's classes in the UK. We presented our findings at the recent [|IFIP VIASL 2008] conference in Prague. I will be giving a similar presentation at [|Ulearn O8.] Helen and I continues to explore different web2.0 technologies to further enhance the collaborative and remote teaching aspects of our initiative.  ||

It takes equal commitment from both parties in order for it to work. However, the benefits are huge. We have proved that it is possible for students to genuinely collaborate at the greatest distance possible and for students to learn effectively when remotely taught in real time. Any other projects put into place over fewer time zones or even in the same time zone would be easier to implement and maintain. We are also exploring the potential to create a 'dial an expert' initiative where we share teacher expertise beyond the four walls of individual classrooms so that students can get the help and skills they require from a teacher who knows. Currently we have ourselves and a teacher from New York sharing. This initiative is for anyone to join and for any student to access but remote, small and rural schools would be ideal candidates. ====== ||
