TWICE: Collaborations Around the Planet « Videoconferencing Out on a Lim
It’s fitting that the ‘TWICE’ website brings 2 good pieces of news to us regarding collaborative VC opportunities:
- Read Around the Planet 2008 is gaining momentum and participants can now register with their NEW large-scale global VC directory; and
- TWICE and Polycom have developed this great ‘Collaborations Around the Planet’ tool for connecting classrooms to one another for collaborative projects.
I’ll be curious to see how this tool compares to VcAlberta’s newly redesigned social networking tool.
What excites me about both tools is that we’re beginning to understand the social/collaborative potential of Internet tools and we’re applying those understandings to meaningful learning situations with videoconferencing. Great work, TWICE and Polycom!
