Collaboration

My Year 7 and 9 science students are working on an "On Line Science Fair" at http://onlinesciencefair.wikispaces.com, where they each have a page where they update the progress of their self-chosen projects. They have been encouraged to find other students from the US classes who are doing similar projects to them to collaborate with. Students from both schools involved enjoy the contact with their peers in other countries and have expressed their enthusiasm and motivation by working at home and making comments outside class time.

[|Silvia Tolisano] **-** What Could it Mean? Let's create a story about traditions, customs and practices around the world for and with our students. We need to sharpen our kids' skills to foresee and sense cultural misunderstandings. This wiki is the collaborative workspace to add images and keep the teacher key updated for the accompanying [|VoiceThread What Could it Mean?]

[|Silvia Tolisano]- Globally Collaborative Project Ideas A space inspired by the Learning 2.0 Conference in Shanghai on 14 - 16 September 2007. During the conference [|Kim Cofino] moderated 2 very productive unconference sessions where conference participants developed 20 different ideas for connecting our classrooms. This is a space where we can start to cross-connect and further develop these ideas in a shared space. Please feel free to add, edit, embellish any and all of these ideas!
