Because our students are already collaborating online with each other
Because we need to be collaborating too to reach them in a way that is relevant to them
Social Media Counter – fascinating facts and figures!
Why not connect to an author or another school via Skype?
Cost is an advantage – no travel expenses
Skype is free to download – all you need is a computer with a microphone and a videocamera
Skype will make it more economical for much smaller tutorials for students – consider this for AL English for example, contacting an author or a lecturer at a University or FE college for a Masterclass

Twitter is a collaborative tool which allows you to connect instantly to selected people to form a PLN (personal learning network)
It will take time to find the best people for you to interact with, who will give you the sort of information which ‘feeds’ you
Twitter needs to be used consistently to get the best value, but will soon become an indispensible tool for you to use
Education professionals who tweet about education in a useful and meaningful way:
@Philbradley – Professional ICT Trainer @Tombarrett-Primary teacher @Markw29 – Primary teacher @dajbelshaw – Director of e-Learning @tommydonbavand @LibWithAttitude – of course!
Twitter has its own polling system which you can use for your followers – Twtpoll
Polling tool for your website – Vorbeo Chat box for your website which pupils can
use to ask you questions and see when you are online to answer – Meebo
