Virtual Vacation Project:

http://virtual-vacation.wikispaces.com/

The 23 students in 8A of Mrs. Allen's Computer Class met 4 students from the Lovgardet School in Sweden to begin their project.  They used Skype to work in small groups.  1-2 students from Sweden worked with 4-6 students from Illinois.  They worked on a Google Doc in small groups to brainstorm places they would like to travel.  After choosing one destination, they will map out their travels and start packing!

All student have made a packing list:  http://virtual-vacation.wikispaces.com/3.+What+will+you+pack%3F

Next, they determine their traveling expenses using a Google Spreadsheet:  http://virtual-vacation.wikispaces.com/4.+Traveling+Expenses

After, they will name their tourist attractions:  http://virtual-vacation.wikispaces.com/5.+Tourist+Attractions

Finally, they will create a brochure, presentation or video to "sell" their vacation:  http://virtual-vacation.wikispaces.com/6.+Culminating+Activity

This is a very useful project with meaningful problems to solve in order to travel from one place to another. Students will need to use their skills for critical thinking and collaboration.

It is a very good project. I am a member of it and I think it is very cool and funny to voice talk "free" with people that is on the other side of the world and in same time writing on google-docs. :)

The project ended today. We all didn't want it to end, but our students are going on field trips and graduating. I hope they can still keep in touch. They did a wonderful job on the project and were able to use their English skills very well. We wish you all the best!
