In previous posts, I have talked about various applications and widgets: Photo-editing software, audio manipulation software, animated avatars, etc. These applications or resources may or may not have been specifically created for educational purposes. There is a myriad of applications out there, and a multitude of skills to learn - this sometimes can be a bit overwhelming. There is always a constant pressure on us teachers to perform and to create new and interesting resources, and especially, resources which can be shared online.

The year 2009 is the European Year of Creativity and Innovation and Michael Purves, a Scottish eTwinner, came up with the idea of creating the “Schoolovosion2009″ Project. This project was open to primary schools from all eTwinning countries. Each participant country (thirty one in all) had to choose a song of their choice, video record it and upload it in the project blog using the video upload section within blogger. Songs had to be uploaded by the 8th of May so that each participant class had enough time to watch and listen to all the songs and vote for their favourite ones. My students watched and listened to all the songs on Monday 11th May.
