Dear colleague
The March Scootle News features the new Scootle Community video, the recordings and schedule for the Scootle LIVE Webinar Series, Community blogs, events, resources and much more.
It's great to see so many collaborative activities being developed by Australian teachers in Scootle everyday. If you haven't already, check out the collaborative activities which now includes live chat functionality.
Don't forget to visit Scootle in the Classroom a blog where students and teachers can come and comment on the great learning activities they are working on. Whether your class is engaged in a global project or a challenged based learning task we would love to here about it!
