I think it is amazing that we can use blogging to do such fun-filled collaborative tasks! Miss Ale’s Grade 6 class in Argentina and my Grade 4/5 class in Cape Town have just written collaborative stories – we did all the Part 1’s using Etherpad, and they did all the Part 2’s. Exciting! (Miss Ale and I are just about to start three-way collaborative stories involving Mr Millward’s class in Canada). Does anyone have any other suggestions of programmes that can embed stories in blogs? ( 24th June: Initially the story was placed in this post using another programme that was slow to download, so I have redone it) Here is one of the collaborative stories:

Hi Mrs. Beal!
Etherpad and empressr are very cool, it is amazing at how much technology allows us to do now! That is very cool that your school in Cape Town and Miss Ale’s in Argentina can write stories together over the internet. I liked the story but unfortunately I couldn’t get the second part to load.

Hi Dominique, thanks for your reply. I find that sometimes it loads and somethies it doesn’t, and I don’t understand why that is! Sincerely, Fiona Beal

Hello Miss Fiona, I am not the same Dominique but I am one of Miss ale’s students here in argentina. I think I am just the same as the other Dominique because we are having the same problems, the first part charges but the second one doesn’t, I will try again later to see what happens.
Bye,
Dominique from Argentina.
