Read Around the Planet 2012 Registration Now Open


2Learn.ca is excited to announce that Read Around the Planet (RAP) 2012 registration officially opens December 1, 2011 and closes on January 13th, 2012.  Alberta's participation in last year's Read Around the Planet 2011 international collaboration included engagements from exactly 100 schools from across our province.  Let's see if we can exceed that number this year!

Please find below all registration details and the instructions regarding this project.  This information is kindly received from Sue Porter, TWICE CAPspace Coordinator, and includes excellent resources to walk you and your technical staff through the process of registering.

2Learn.ca is continuing to support TWICE.cc through training and testing services to Alberta teachers.  As Alberta's Site Verifier for TWICE CAPspace, please contact me via email (Jocelyn@2Learn.ca) or telephone (403-370-0230) with any questions you have or technological support you may require.

Wishing all the best,
Jocelyn

Reminder: Collaborations vs. Projects
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember there are two kinds of connections between classes in CAPspace:
   1. Collaborations:
       Teacher created
       Post under Projects, Collaborations
       Find your own partner
       Create your own support materials

   2. Projects (or Matching Events, i.e., Read Around the Planet):
       Centrally managed and coordinated
       Dates & times are already set
       A partner class is provided for you
       Support materials are already created for you
       You sign up for ALL the times you can do; when the match is run, partners & times are assigned

We hope you can participate this year in TWICE\\\'s signature event, Read Around the Planet, which was the event that started CAPspace!
