I’ve been trying to sort out my digital resources - trolling through forgotten folders CD ROMs, even (gasp) floppy disks from a byegone era. One of the files I found from many moons ago was ‘things to do with e-mail’, in which I suggested the following:

Collect information
Solve problems
Penpals –in another school
              in another country
Share a topic with another class
Pool data
Exchange information
Create a dialect dictionary
Exchange jokes
Collaborative publishing (through attachments)
Sequential creation of a poem
Sequential creation of a story
Thank you letters
Home/school link
Contact experts and ask them specific questions

Still relevant, some of these, though obviously we now have many more tools at our disposal, so a collaborative document, online chat or video conference may be more appropriate. Any more ideas?
