Here are some of the latest additions:   Sending recycled goods from Swindon to South Africa New Collaborative Project on SchoolNet Global SchoolNet Global has just announced the arrival another exciting collaborative project: Children from schools in the UK and abroad are working on joint citizenship and community projects using the latest in communications technology. The project stretches and challenges highly able, gifted and talented children to undertake and publish their projects within strict time limits. To date children have worked on international recycling, children's rights and a collaborative art project. SSlinkS has been founded by Leaden Hall School in Salisbury, UK, Peatmoor Primary School in Swindon, UK, and Dihlabeng Christian School near Lesotho, South Africa. The project also involves schools in Spain, Italy, France and the Czech Republic. Sally Litherland, Leaden Hall School, says, "We hope to achieve a better understanding of how much we have in common with peoples of different socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. This project also provides a chance for children to improve their skills, especially ICT, through their involvement in REAL projects not textbook exercises. Ultimately it provides an opportunity for the children to see the world and not just the playground. SSLinkS uses take2theweb technology and is sponsored by Intuitive Media, creators of SchoolNet Global. To find out more about the project, read the FactFile, or visit SchoolNet Global Cultural Conversations Magazine, Issue 9.
