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!

Comment by Cathy Webb on April 25, 2008 at 2:46pm: I'm so excited to see how many educators are actively pursuing distance collaborations! While I'm isolated in my classroom, I start to think that I'm some kind of anomaly at wanting to connect my students to the larger global learning community!
I teach in a K-12 interactive projects lab, part of a resource center that supports homeschool students and families in the Edmonds, Washington school district.
In the lab I facilitate explorations and discoveries using LEGO, robotics, computer technologies, audio and video technologies, and more. This year I've been seeking other teachers and students interested in collaborating via video conferencing.
My hope is that my students involved in robotics, such as First Lego League, programming, and engineering could meet regularly with another classroom to share discoveries, pose problems, collaborate on solutions, develop challenges, and build a learning team that opens students' eyes to global partnerships and connections.
