Mod 8:Sites(iEARN & Chinswing) for a global cooperation project

As sites for global cooperation project in my class, iEARN (http://www.iearn.org/)could be used matchingly with Chinswing(http://www. chinswing.com) in class. At iEARN, culturally different people
from all over the world can have ongoing online project with globally important issue and get enormous amount of knowledge or information about the global issue or life. People here can exchange their ideas on interactive forum and discussion Although it’s really excellent site for global communication and collaboration, there is a little disadvantage that discussion is performed by posting comments, reflective statements and responding to others. Especially for my future young learners, it could be a bit boring. Here, Chinswing which is a voice based message board for debate or discussion can be used to fill the weakness that iEARN has, encouraging students to have more active and fun discussion with people all over the world. Because at Chinswing, students can exchange their opinions by recording their voice messages to topical discussions. Students can communicate and share information with others more conveniently or lively instead of simply typing text.
