One of the exciting things about the Let's Play Project has been to link schools within the UK with schools across the world both on-line and face to face. I was fortunate to visit the De Rank School in Westdaam close to Amsterdam for a couple of days. Having visited the school during the project I was involved with last year, thanks to the budget airlines, the first thing that pleasantly surprising is how inexpensive, easy and accessible Holland can be. Our stay for 3 nights came to under £250 for the whole visit - (including flights, trains, taxis, food and accommodation).

The target for the project was the setting up 200 children with their own interactive web-sites in 4 weeks! The idea was to set up safe on-line web accounts using www.think.com with primary children and their teachers and to help them appreciate the potential that Web 2.0 technologies have to enhance teaching and learning.

The project ran for 4 weeks and was a joint venture sponsored by The Oracle Education Foundation and MirandaNet abased at the Institute of Education in London. The project sponsored several other schools and culminated in a meeting to share work and achievements on July 10th 2008 at the MirandaNet's 'WLE centre'(World e-Citizens) based at the Institute of Education in London.
