Tools for Collaborative Learning
Collaborative Learning  ”Communication saves lives! ”
We use these tools for  online collaborative Learning  between schools. 

● Web Page

The NDYS website connects homepages of disaster risk education network　created by students and  participating schools.　It also issues the information with multi language.

We pay attention to the various languages in the world,
so that students can grow the sense of good balance towards the world.

● Video-Conferencing
 

NDYS started from the video-conferencing which connects the Egypt Youth Summit and the Hyogo prefecture education training institute.
 

Natural Disaster Youth Summit 2006 in Taiwan, Fukiai SHS students presented Global Disaster Safety Map through Video- Conferencing

          Let's have video-conferencing several times, so that everyone can meet each other.

         We use Meeting Plaza offered by Hyogo Board of Education   

         Video-Conferencing

● CoSMOS (Collaborative Safety Maps on Open System)

 

We are happy to introduce the new interactive tool for collaboration to you. The name of the system is CoSMOS (Collaborative Safety Maps on Open System). 

With CosMOS, you can find disaster safety maps around the world in five languages. They are Japanese, English, Turkish, French and Chinese.

                                                                               

 

● Language Grid


 

What is the Language Grid?

Participating schools from various countries at Natural Disaster Youth Summit online collaborating learning with the theme of " Let's create global disaster safety map". They used video-conferencing and English BBS for communication. However, students and teachers who did not use English as in Japan, Russia, Senegal had difficulty in writing  English message on chat screens of video-conferencing or BBS. They now use language input to translate their messages in their native language into English. The tool collaboration possible.
