Recovery of greater Christchurch photography competition

The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) is inviting all schools - primary, intermediate and secondary - in greater Christchurch to take part in a photography competition. Schools are asked to submit photographs that reflect their students' visions of recovery - what greater Christchurch will be like in the future.
There are five categories that are based on the areas of recovery identified in the draft Recover Strategy:

• Leadership and integration
• Economic
• Social
• Built
• Natural

Prizes of a choice of vouchers for books or photography equipment will be awarded to winning students/classes. Schools of the winning students/classes will also receive prizes.

Closing date: 5pm on 12 December 2011.

This is the 1st post in the “30 days to using the best of the web’s free tools for educators” series.
The first for the Challenges involves Wallwisher:

Overview:
Wallwisher is a Web 2.0 free online tool where anyone can build a “wall”.
Discussing a new idea? Taking notes? Giving feedback? Voicing opinion? Wishing a happy birthday?

Your students can then go onto the internet and stick post-it notes electronically onto your wall. The notes can include linked pictures, You Tube videos, PowerPoints, PDF documents, Excel Spreadsheets, or web page links.

In this activity you will:
1. Learn how to create an online noticeboard and check out ideas for using Wallwisher with your students
2. Learn how students can add to your notice board
3. Learn how to embed your notice board in your blog or learning platform
4. Complete one or more of the challenge activities
