Team100 WC ( a group of volunteer adults from across the world) provide comments from an adult but it is the sharing of peer to peer that has had the most amazing impact on writing progress, confidence and global links with other schools and classes.The session will show the process of writing, linking, commenting as well as some of the feedback from students who have taken part.There will also be an opportunity to explore some of the other ways class blogs can be linked globally.
