What is an Effective Global Collaborative Project?

An educational project that flattens or joins classrooms and people from geographically

dispersed places within a technology infrastructure built for a common curricular

purpose.

Interactions foster cultural understanding and global awareness in the process of

learning.

Local identity is maintained and celebrated.

Am I willing to redesign my curriculum to embed a global project into what my class does?

“Designing a global collaborative experience involves transcending the obvious real time linkup,

fostering higher order thinking and providing opportunities for cultural understanding

while usually making a product that impacts others in

a positive way. ”
