  13. Some ideas and suggestions Getting started Ask students to register. Give them a quiz task where they have to search within ECO to find answers to questions and in the process, discover the different sections and functionality of the site. This could be done in class or for homework. 2. Publishing work for public view Students post their contribution to a collection, for example of short stories, poems, recipes, jokes, etc.

  14. Some ideas and suggestions 3. Interviews (with students in different IH schools or countries) Set a topice.g. music, food, routine, technology, lifestyle, etc. Students produce a questionnaire then set up and conduct interviews with students elsewhere. Once the interviews have been completed, students write up their findings and post them in the ECO "writing" section. Material posted could also be exploited by classes not actually involved in the production process. For example: "Read the posts and compare the comments with the situation in your own school/country".

  15. Some ideas and suggestions 4. Chain Stories (within a class or school, or between different classes and schools) Set a theme or provide a title (for example: "The Future" or "Jan's Bad Day"). Brainstorm different starting points. In pairs students start a story then "hand it over". The next pair of students write the middle of a story, and then a third pair write the end of a story. Stories could be completed in one session or continue indefinitely. Story writing could also be done individually and set for homework on a regular basis.
