> **C. Application**

Go to PrimaryPad for a language you can speak. If nobody else joins you, go to the English pad. Find out if you speak a common language there. You are going to write a Cinquainpoem in groups of 3-4. If at all possible, write it in the language you teach. As you are writing, use the chat feature to plan your poem. Throw in accidental mistakes like the students would, and correct each other|s mistakes.

 * Good to know
 * 1) If your students get disconnected often, the bandwidth at your school my not be sufficient for PrimaryPad. Have the kids do their online collaboration at home as homework.
 * 2) PrimaryPad is very reliable, but it could undergo maintenance or other issues. To avoid losing valuable classroom time ask your students to copy and paste their content in a Word document at the end of each work session - just in case PrimaryPad is down the next time they try to work.
 * 3) PrimaryPad will delete your pad URL after 30 days.
 * 4) There are other similar "Etherpads" available. If PrimaryPad for some reason does not meet your need, check out the following:
