Virtual Learning Network

Hi all,

Can you help? I am cross-posting to a thread in the Inquiry Learning: Hassles, problems and Issues group.

In that group, Kate has asked:

Does anyone have any great ICT tools that students have used throughout their inquiries?  The inquiry team is made up of 6, 7 and 8 year olds. I would like some good ideas for different stages of the inquiry process and also for recording the process using ICT. I find our wiki a little 'bitsy'.

Our inquiry team are running their own business next week (a restaurant) and after much discussion, have decided  to raise funds for winter emergency packs for our school in Christchurch (earthquakes in mind!)  As the children said "It is pretty miserable standing out in the rain with no shelter and no food and waiting for your parents to come". We hope to come up with a handy solution. Some of the suggestions from experts have been large rubbish bins filled with blankets, tarps, barley sugars etc OR backpacks filled with supplies for each class. Any ideas that you have would be much appreciated by the students and I.

Thoughts?
