Been reading some interesting ideas over the last couple of weeks for potential collaborative learning methods. I am trying to setup links with schools in foreign countries for the humanities department to use, but google groups seems a bit boring and text-based sometimes. You can obviously post links to other sites there but I was hoping for a more interactive website. Apparently Ning is pretty good for that, so I will have to explore there over the next week or two. Pod and videocasting, as well as screencasting, are also areas that I want to focus on over the next months - I reckon we can get some good stuff going there in MFL.
Using Facebook for school-based work is also an interesting idea, but I really don't think that school will buy it for now, it spends too much time stopping people getting on there to look at the possibilities for collaboration.
