It is a great way of integrating the four skills while fostering creativity, collaboration, cross-cultural understanding and sharing. It simply turns language alive!

Last month, I had the pleasure of putting together a collaborative article called Cartoon Festival: An International Digital Storytelling Project for TESL-EJ with two dear online collegues, Mary Hillis from Japan and José Antônio Da Silva from Brazil, about our experience during the “Learning with Computers” Cartoon Festival . Mary started a Google Doc where we worked on the drafts under the supervision of Vance Stevens. Besides helping us reflect on the project, it proved once again the power of the Web 2.0 to harness international collaboration and professional development .

You are all kindly invited to read it!
