This would allow students chance to get to know each other and engage with the requirements of the project. It would also perhaps mitigate to a certain extent the<BR/>frustrations felt by some students when their counterparts do not<BR/>communicate in a timely fashion/at all (!). No doubt some of the<BR/>students are also a little anxious as this kind of activity may well<BR/>be new to them and indeed they may lack confidence in the use of some<BR/>of the technology tools. It is good to hear that the students are not<BR/>fazed by whether US/UK/other English is being used."<BR/><BR/>PaulJulie Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043807289251144925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16296721.post-16698027221145355892007-04-25T05:17:00.000+10:002007-04-25T05:17:00.000+10:00My students and I discussed things as well -- they...My students and I discussed things as well -- they are a little frustrated with some partners not communicating as well. Also, they are struggling with when is it research and when am I predicting. We'll chat tonight and discuss what we can do to simplify things!Vicki Davis @coolcatteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549879610620143027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16296721.post-48889760521924619672007-04-25T00:33:00.000+10:002007-04-25T00:33:00.000+10:00Interesting conversation (in your podcast).

I was very intrigued by the students' responses to Twitter and English spellings.<BR/><BR/>To summarize my feelings about spellings (as I sent them via Twitter):<BR/><BR/>Given that the largest % of your visitors are from the US, it might be best that you spell "in Rome as the Romans spell" - so as to cater to your largest audience.<BR/><BR/>But, then again, I'm a "US-centric yankee" - so you can take my opinion for what it's worth. : )Darren Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578208859042859340noreply@blogger.com
