The Word on the street: a cross-school collaboration.

The article reports on a cross-school collaboration which allowed children to create their own virtual neighbourhood called The Street by involving them in a series of literacy based activities. It discusses the key features of the 21st Century Literacies and the focus on the renewed English and Computing curricula, improvements in engagement and motivation, and teaching students wrote digitally and their ownership and investment in the project that added value to the learning.
