Hello everyone,
Time 2010 is soon, very soon. It’s nice to see we still have gathered so much people and schools in such short amount of time.
Now, as every year, outside the VC’s, we’re also going to play the game ‘Unite The Nations’ again.
“Unite the Nations, an interactive game about and between countries, challenges students to take a closer look at their own culture as well as foreign cultures. Students create multiple choice questions on geography, history, social issues, arts and sports in their country. Within 24 hours they virtually race against each other and time in answering questions on other countries.”
Every school needs to make about 3-4 questions about a few subjects (like sports, arts, geography, history or social issues), if they can. We’ll collect all the questions and release them on 0:00 UTC. From then, every school has 24 hours to answer the questions as fast as they can.
So, if your school hasn’t made those questions already, make sure to do so soon! The official deadline is tomorrow (though we can still add questions after that time, but before tomorrow would be better).
Important facts:
- Send the questions to timeproject@fuen.nl. That’s the adress we’ll gather all questions on.
- On 0:00 UTC, the ‘game’/question list will be released and put online on timeproject.org, timeproject.ning.com and saltychip.com (search for ‘time project’). You can fill in the answers on the URL you find there, or you can print out all questions first and send them in by mail/fax. If there are any schools who need to recieve the questions via fax, please let us know!
More information and an extended ‘manual’, you’ll find in the PDF i attached to this e-mail.
Thanks! We’re awaiting your questions! And if you have any questions about the game, don’t hesitate to let us know!

The Thames Valley District School Board is making their licence for Adobe’s Video Conferencing Software, Adobe Connect, available to all Time Project Partners who wish to do Video Conferencing this year. The software allows you to connect on a secure and private line with only those partners that YOU AUTHORIZE. You can also host more than one video conference partner at a time if you wish. As well Adobe Connect allows you to broadcast video, power point or presentation software to your VC partners while you are in the VC! As well the site features real time chat and white board capabilities. To use Adobe Connect all you need is access to the internet, a webcam, and the private URL to your own Adobe Connect site! If you were using SKYPE in the past, then it is time to restore school privacy , security while creating an interactive E-classroom environment. To obtain your free use of Adobe Connect during Time Project, please contact Joe Sheik, Video Conferencing Co-ordinator, Time 2010 at j.sheik@tvdsb.on.ca.
