Connecting Globally #travellingtales

Created by Joel Bevan

We are so excited to be part of this amazing opportunity to connect globally with other schools to tell a tale. The children have already been talking about how cool it is that we get to communicate with people all over the world even though we have never met them face to face. I have to agree, it is pretty cool!! :-)

We are joining up with four other schools around the world to be part of a digitally created progressive book. A class in Luxembourg are starting the story off for us. Each class has two days to create their part of the story. From Luxembourg it was off to America, then onto Switzerland and now it has arrived with us here in Cambodia. We watched their parts of the story this afternoon and it was awesome! Our story is called "The talking fridge' and we were really excited about the characters, setting, build up and problem that they had created.

Now it's our turn! Our job is to write the resolution and try to solve the problems that have happened in the story. We had a fantastic time today brainstorming all sorts of ideas. We finally agreed on where we would like the story to go and chose illustrations to add to the digital tale. We created our slides and tomorrow we're doing the voice recording.....stay tuned!!

Once our two days are up we will send the story onto another school in America, where they will be adding on from where we left off. There job is to create a conclusion to the tale.

The final product will be posted here on our blog, twitter and Youtube. We are very excited about seeing the finished product!!

For more information please check out this Youtube video and talk to your child about what we are doing. They really are very excited to be communicating globally with other classrooms and collaborating on this tale.
