If you take a look at the Planet blog (http://www.prometheanplanet.com/blog/?p=1203) then you can find out about the latest ActivConnect and Elluminate success story involving Fosters Primary School, UK and Rock Island Elementary, FL, USA.
Both schools have already participated in three 'virtual' classroom collaborations and are finding the lessons not just about curriculum subjects, but also about cultures, heritage, popular music and more!
From the blog you can read all about how ICT Subject Leader, John Andrews, from Fosters Primary School, has been using this technology and how easy it was to establish. Plus, there are also four short video clips of the sessions in action.
Whilst over in the News section, there's a corresponding news article (http://www.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=ConWebDoc.9681) with some images from previous sessions with Rock Island.
If you're interested in setting up a connection with another school, please visit the ActivConnect section (http://www.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=nav.16582) to find out how.
