Children can collaborate on shared online documents to get to know each other better by each adding details to a sentence. The documents allow the class to see contributions as they are added. Shared documents can also be used to suggest questions for school trips and collaborate information about upcoming trips. Documents make it possible for students paired as "ICT buddies" to share and comment on each other's work to provide encouragement and suggestions for improvement.
