What do you get when you mix 200 students, 4 schools, several teachers and one brilliant idea on Twitter? An interstate collaborative sustainability project, of course! Brett Salakas, from St Kevin's in Sydney (@MRsalakas), put out a tweet recently asking if anyone was interested in using Google Hangouts to launch a collaborative project focused on his upcoming conservation unit. After a few enthusiastic responses, several emails back and forth and one test call later, students on the Gold Coast were today listening to Mr Salakas in Sydney explain about carbon footprints, biomes and how all this relates to Minecraft and Antarctica! 

Students across the country are now looking forward to this time next week when they can again meet up with their new learning buddies, in preparation for their collaborative inquiries in the coming weeks. Exciting times!
