Workshop 2 Underway

We are off the mark with the second 1001 Tales workshop, which features students from Australia, Serbia and China. We have been held up with various Spring/Easter holidays but our first drafts are now posted and I'm looking forward (with a mixure of excitement and nervousness) to seeing how the students will interact and provide meaningful feedback to one another. My students, from a boys boarding school in regional Australia, are keen to collaborate with people from across the world and I'm hoping that this project will utlise the 1:1 environment we are in (as of Feburary). It's been a bit of a struggle to incorporate this in the midst of an already jam-packed term but providing an opportunity for them to write for a real global audience was too interesting to pass up. I'm taking on the axiom that "learning is messy". Wish us luck.
