Following on from my post on using wallwisher for homework here's what my Year 6 classes did next...
Using the countries they posted on the wallwisher walls, I paired the children up so that they would be working with someone who was connected to the same country as them and they spent the next few lessons working on their presentations.
I decided to get them to do their presentations using Photopeach instead of Powerpoint. My main reason for doing this was I wanted them to use the comments section at the end to do some peer assessment. Unfortunately with having our Geography lessons on a Friday we ended up with a shorter than usual number of lessons with xmas stuff going on and we haven't got to that point yet. But their presentations are finished and in our first lesson of the New Year will be spent assessing each other's work.
I wasn't sure how Photopeach would handle multiple groups of children signing in on the same login and working on different slideshows at the same time but it wasn't a problem. The only problem that did occurr was some children working for an hour on their presentations only to lose everything at the end of the lesson, this happened during a lesson I was being covered for, so I wasn't there and have no idea how it happened!
So here are some examples of their work, look out for the quote from me on the Italy presentation!

Fantastic. It makes me so jealous that I am not in a classroom at the moment. My school won't know what's hit them in September!
