 * 1) I have used the listening pods on the Otak hub to play through my smart board while the students follow along in their novel. It is a nice introductory activity since the students can watch as I travel to the listen pods and they develop an awareness of the virtual space. It is also nice to have another voice reading the novel.
 * 1) I introduce the quests on my white board, especially the quests which require students to do prior work before going to the computer. Once at the computer if they are not prepared to finish the task they can easily become distracted by other things in the environment. Posted by Glenys Martin, Shellbrook, Saskatchewan, Canada.

 * 1) Have students take a screenshot of a build or a group task and annotate it to then present back to the class in a way that explains how they progressed or how they problems solved or divided up a task and achieved success.
 * 1) Take a IWB-based movie using the inbuilt tools on the board and have students capture elements of a quest or mission to help others. This would also work well to have students demo how to do various jobs in the OTAK such as how to greet newbies and what skills are needed.
 * 1) Audio or Videoconference between schools as part of a coquesting activity. If not filtered or blocked you could use tools such as Skype to accomplish great things.
 * 1) Model quality quest work by using a projector or whiteboard for joint construction of a quality quest response. You can have all the students coquesting on the response, or go back to to individual or group computers and build their own version of the response.
