Intro: This wikispace was develeped by Viv and the Coonabarabran Indigenous Workskills Team... it started as an activity for Computer Literacy Workshop but has grown into including other modules. Beginning in Semester 2, 2006 it has quickly evolved with all students contributing. Link: http://coonamob.wikispaces.com/ Comments:

 * Intro: This is a wikispace developed for and with a class of fairly advanced ESL students in Coffs Harbour
 * Comments**: It was designed to supplement and re-inforce work done in class - so there are grammar, vocab exercises, writing tasks etc. The students had one class a week in the computer lab, when most of the work was done, but some also did work from home (which I encouraged!!). It was used only for the term, so some activities are time specific eg Royal Easter Show webquest, Commonwealth Games etc. Students had to join the space, to be able to edit, but anyone can view it.
