Collaborating for REAL Student Improvements!

As you visit/join this Distance Collaborations Group, you may want to give a few stats about yourself and your education position to let new/old group members know how they can collaborate with you.

Additionally, here's a terrific project where high school and college students can collaborate locally AND globally. There are infinite possibilities out there!

Hi all,

Anyone running wellness initiatives or 'green' initiatives at their schools and want to collaborate on Google Maps? My colleague and I have set up this google map for publishing the work we are doing in our town around composting, recycling, gardening and our wellness initiative next year. We are looking to inspire work in our local community with some great projects.

Marie,
The Enabling Support Foundation is a non-profit with projects in Pakistan, Morocco, Cameroon, Australia, and the Caribbean. You students could interact with them via email or involvement on joint projects. We are in the process of developing an Art curriculum for K-12 and we are building the Archive of Myth and Legend a resource for folk tales+ on the web and sponsor of new fold material created by students.

Email me at drz@enabling.org

Hi,
My name is Marie Doherty and I am from Ireland. I am teaching 10-12 year olds and am interested in collaborating on a project/projects in the incoming school year. I am open to ideas. Our new term starts Sept 1st

Hi all - this group sounded like the perfect place to collaborate with other teachers about my new non-profit organization- Project Global Inform (project-inform.org). I've also set up a group for PGI on Classroom 2.0, so feel free to join if you are interested in learning more.

Along with PGI, I've also been a teacher in the Flat Classroom Project this past year, with over 70 of my students participating, creating, and collaborating with students from Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia and in the US (New Jersey and Vermont). It was a huge success and my students loved it. Looking forward to collaborating with all of you!

My name is Larry Langley. I teach high school students (ages 13-18) in the following subjects: journalism, English language arts, theater arts, reading (7th grade) and yearbook. The name of our school is Rocksprings High School located in Rocksprings, TX 78880, population 1285. We have 293 students enrolled in grades PK-12. The majority of my students are Hispanic.
I want to involve my students in a cross-cultural experience this year using many kinds of technology (building a web site, pod casting, video casting, digital photography and so on). Therefore, I would like to know what projects some of you are involved with this coming school year. Please email me to let me know about projects.

I'm looking for a French teacher in the US (East coast?) who would like to set up a virtual exchange programme, starting in September 2010 with one or two classes. My students will be 16, 17, 18-year-old students learning English. Your students could practice French and mine, English. They could talk or write about any subject, exchange about their way of life or even about a book they read. Why not "Notes from a big country?" or other....
