To celebrate the joint publication of ‘The adventures of monkey and cat’ on iTunes and on our blog KinderPris invited us to a publishing party. How would we achieve this?
Here is a sample from our Google doc to let you know our intentions and joint agreements for the collaboration..
So we started to think about the party the children sat in groups and shared their ideas with the class.
Kyle: Well it’s fairly obvious it will have to be on Skype. It is the only way we can see them.
General agreement and nodding of heads.
Hwaji: Yeh but sometime not good. It cut.
Max: Yeh it cuts off.
Morris: You have to think because if weather rain it won’t work.
Zoe: Oh like the satellite TV, that happens at my house.
Ryan: Yes and me.
Zoe I am not sure. Any ideas?
Kyle: Well I can work it out but I need time. I need to ask my dad. He works for Ricoh and does computers and stuff.
Jessica: Well you need to think about it. What will we do?
We are waiting to hear from Kyle’s dad on this issue.
The children have started to think about the structure of the event. Their exchanges on Skype this year have made them reflective on the uses and limitations of Skype. The key finding, have a plan of what will happen if it is going to be a larger group exchange.
The publishing party has been set for
Wednesday 30th May at 2.30pm (Tokyo time) in our room. KinderPris have invited their parents and KP want to invite their parents. So KP parents are you ready to join us as the Skype publishing party?
