== An ICT-based collaborative writing activity ==

{{ednote|text=
The following activity uses an internet-based application called EtherPad which allows everyone to see - in real time - what others are writing, and to build on that.
}}

{{activity|practical activity}} Choose a broad topic that you want your class to write about in a forthcoming lesson – it can be a factual topic (eg healthy foods, diseases, hobbies, weddings or buying food in the market) or a creative story. However this is an '''open-ended''' writing activity so children are free to '''devise their own sentences''' around the topic without feeling there are right and wrong answers. Thus a topic asking them to list short responses won't work well.

Devise a title to give them, e.g. “The magic stone” for a story. Discuss the choice with a partner if you like.

{{activity|practical activity}} Now open all the netbooks, take one per workshop participant. Go to EtherPad and try out the collaborative writing task below.

{{oinc|OER4Schools/Collaborative writing with EtherPad}}

'''To help your students type faster, before or after this lesson:''' play games on typing under “Edubuntu Applications > Education”, such as TuxType.

'''Activities you could do with Etherpad later on when your students can type faster:'''
* Writing a story together (each student in each group writes a sentence that follows on from the previous sentence)
* Students type a question they are curious about, and other students respond. (eg “Why is the moon only out at night?”)

{{activity|whole group discussion}} Discuss the issues and any pitfalls you anticipate. What are the outcomes you would like – what should the students be writing? '''Change the plan a bit if necessary, to suit your own learners.'''

{{ednote|text=
You may want to make a note of the topics the teachers each choose for use in class with EtherPad, and to include these in your educator reflections.
