WebPlay Local
WebPlay Local is a new innovation linking local primary schools to enable them to explore their community collaboratively. The aim of the project is to create an ‘electronic guide book’ for an imaginary global travel agency JetSetand Go.com. The project will run throughout the forthcoming summer term in Bracknell, London and Nottinghamshire and will link a year 3 class with another class in the same region. The two classes will communicate and collaborate online.
The collaboration between classes takes place as with all our projects on Think.com, a closed and advertising-free education platform created by The Oracle Corporation. The site can be accessed from any computer that has access to the Internet, but is only available to children who have been registered by their school and given an username and password. You can learn more about Think.com by visiting the website www.think.com.
Messages of support and instruction, will be transmitted to the students by JetSetandGo.com's president, Sinclair St John. These video messages will be published weekly throughout the project on this website. To view this week's video click here.
