We use Skype, YouTube, blogs and Twitter to get in contact with students and teachers from other parts of the world.

We communicate and learn from peers in the outside world using social media

We write personal blogs using authentic material

Curriculum goals are the basis for learning, not textbooks, and students find how different topics can be used to cover the

curriculum goals.

Questions and challenges are set by the students with help from teacher. Students offer feedback to fellow students.

The goal is self-paced differentiated learning where every student can progress individually and the teacher can keep track

of this.
