We will start a new project on "Schools around the world". Students through exchanges and discussions will learn about different schools worldwide.

 The idea is to create a visual school network in order to sustain an on-going dialogue about how schools differ worldwide.  Students must prepare a voicethread adding all the information they require relevant for other students to know about their school. The rest of the participants can ask questions about their school.

You can check school calendars around the world thanks to the wonderful work done by Tom Robb.

Teachers interested in joining this project please add yourself to the following chart: Participating Schools.

What is a Voicethread? 

According to Voicethread.com, a VoiceThread is an online interactive media album that can hold essentially any type of media (images, documents, audio, videos), which allows people tocollaborate while making comments in 5 different ways — using voice (with a microphone or calling in by telephone), text, inserting audio files (mp3), or video (with a web camera) — and share them with anyone they wish. A VoiceThread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place, from anywhere in the world.
