Collaborative projects are a central activity in the Global Connections
and Exchange Programme. Through these projects, students in one
location cooperate with students from other locations -- another city,
or even another country -- and learn what life is like in that
location.
Most of these projects use technology, particularly the internet, to
"virtually" eliminate the distance between schools. In most
of these projects, students on both ends of the collaboration produce
some tangible product such as a slide show, a series of web pages, an
essay, artwork, or other media. Then, both groups exchange their
products, and discuss the project. Often, we use forums to
conduct these discussions.
We have collected student projects here, to allow students to see what
other students have made, and to promote discussion between the
schools. Keep in mind that these are student projects -- while
teachers and mentors have assisted with the projects, we have taken
pains to avoid altering what the students have produced. We
believe it is important to show the lessons as the students made them,
rather than according to our tastes. In this way, we hope to
avoid introducing our own cultural biases into the projects.
