I think that lunch boxes in Japan, bento, are really fascinating because they have such a variety of foods and an interesting history! It is awesome to see that images are being used to share this part of culture among elementary school students in different countries! Hi Gabriela,

I've just checked the availability of tags on technorati and Flickr. Let's use the tag "globalcookbook" when posting photos with recipes on Flickr or blogs.

Sharing cultural celebrations through photos showed us that "distance is no longer a divider"! http://illyasoet.wordpress.com/2008/02/02/flickring-away/ Illya,

To extend it, you can make Flickr mosaics (see Flickr tools) and add them to VoiceThread in 3 pages: fist page: recipes;2nd page: laying the table for the guests; 3rd page: preparing the party . Different students can then record each step (which corresponds to the frames of the mosaic) and others can pitch in for missing details. Mary,

My first idea comes from your comment on my flickrshow. Get 2 different classes from 2 different countries take pictures during a cultural celebration, put them on flickr and then share the links. The two classes begin commenting on the similarities and differences of the celebration between the two countries. This could, of course, include food! The second idea comes from thinking about the needs of my own class. They are preparing for the CAE. I could give them a key word. They then look for pictures tagged with this particular word and then describe them, comparing and contrasting and explaining the reasons for choosing these 2-3 pictures. A very exam-like task made personal (though not as social as the above). Mary, you are inspiring me!

Sharing recipes is a lot of fun, and your students must have enjoyed producing their own cookbook. Although not carried out online, your project has a similar aim -- to go beyond a simple assignment and to connect to others by creating something that can be kept and enjoyed for a longer time!
