My Project Idea - Chris

My project is an online space where proffessionals and young people can post ideas, share photo's/videos and create resources collectively. I'm using a Wiggio account to do this. So far, I've set up a specific group space for leaders of the John Muir Award in Flintshire. You have to have a wiggio account and be accepted onto the John Muir group to view my project. However, here is the Wiggio link! Wiggio

First Task - Project Idea

Sorry for the late-ness! My idea is to introduce the use of Edmodo in a couple of settings. With a group of young people who are creating memory books for Elderly people in a residential home. Edmodo will allow me to keep in contact with the group between sessions and post taks/polls. I've also set up a 'Classroom' for the volunteer centre, to share good practise and resources, instead of laborious e-mails where you have to copy everyone in.

Session From Chris

Session idea from Chris. To promote positive use of digital technologies for creative purposes with groups of young people. Allow small groups of young people to access diverse websites which allow you to create something exciting. The first part of the session will be to create something about a particular interest of the individual young person, then collectively make something which will promote volunteering!
