Welcome to the 2008olympics wiki.
This wiki has been established by the Barwon South West Region Ultranet coaches to facilitate 21st Century Learning pedagogy in the classroom

Over the coming weeks the wiki will provide students with an opportunity to collaborate and communicate with schools around the theme of the Beijing Olympics. Various student centred tasks will promote web 2.0 applications for use in the classroom.

Students will create podcasts to share with other wiki members, showcasing the events in their own schools based upon the 2008 olympics.

Start collecting and storing photos and media files now on events in your school. Some tasks will involve using photographs and video of the olympic themed events that are happening in your school. Start collecting these now for later use.

**Task Managment**
Most of the proposed tasks can be easily accessed now. Please do not push ahead until the recommended times. As each task commences it will be added to the list below. Some tasks will require follow up sub-tasks to be completed, so keep a watchful eye in this section for updates.

 * 2) **Task 2 - Open now**
