Well done Sumi.

I think you need to model how to use them correctly. I know NF got the COW in and simulated a conversation within a forum to show them how it was done. The forums I have used with my Year 10's are beginning to work better, but to begin with many of them wrote a whole heap of rubbish (I was away on camp). Since then I have discussed better use of the application. Try it again.

Hi thank you for reply, I just started using forum with my year 11 class which seems working for them. but I also tried with my year 10 class. kids told me they can not use it. so I would like to find out why it is not working.

Hi Sumi, I agree with Louise. The best way is to book the COW or a computer lab and then simulate a possible forum. I have used the forum for "Homework Help" so modelled a possible homework question and showed the students how they can then access the forum and answer each others questions as well as asking for help from the teacher.

Good luck - I can't wait to hear how it goes. big grin
