 * http://readingtech.wikispaces.com/ This Wiki uses technology to promote books not replace them. The aim is to shift from a Reading 1.0 mindset, where the book and computer may be in competition with each other and the Internet user is responsible for searching and reading content, to a Web 2.0 mindset where the user is creating and interacting with content shared across the WWW.

This Books Go Global project involves Grade Four classes around the world. The creators would like to open it up to other age ranges and languages (it is currently conducted in English). It provides a place for students and teachers to converse about books and to share multimedia reviews of great books. Multimedia tools like VoiceThread can be used

> This Wiki has developed a collaborative writing workshop between international and public ES schools around the world. It uses the story telling format of 1001 Nights to tell a new story. Thousands of diferent stories are embedded within the one main story. The aim is that student stories will become "never ending tales", with each link to different individual stories embedded within one overarching story. Students and teachers collaborate in peer editing.
