= Welcome to our Wiki! =

This is a collaborative project designed to study Maori symbols between schools in Australia and New Zealand.

The goal is to use technology to add dimension to a global project. Students will learn and share knowledge about cultural symbols by connecting with people in another country. The cumulative activity will require students to choose from a variety of web 2.0 tools to work collaboratively sharing knowledge about a chosen Maori symbol.
