Hello,
I am looking for teachers to collaborate with our teachers on US and World History from grades 7 to 12.
For instance, the 12th grade Middle East has a blog:
http://themiddleeast.edublogs.org/
I hope some of you will be interested.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
Have a great day

You or your staff may be interested in connecting with a Year 10 class I teach early on in your new school year (6-24 Sept 2010). Most communication between students would be asynchronous but hopefully there would be some synchronous communication. We will have been studying the History of Slavery and are hoping to finish by taking part in a small project with some other schools that aims to get students investigating slavery in their own country and sharing what they discover with students in other parts of the world. Hopefully being better informed about slavery throughout the world students will then be better placed to take action against it.
If this interests you and you think it might be possible then please let me know. We can always chat further via email or Skype.
Hi
I'm Cristina Voicu. I'm from Romania. I teach history and geography at secondary school. (5 - 8 grade). I'm interested in this project idea. I need more information about what should we do.
Best regards!
I am looking for collaboration for my 11th and 12th grade World History class. Possible immediate ideas are as follows. My World History class of 11th and12 graders will begin a unit on the 15th century when we return from break in late march. Our starting point will be reading selections of John Thorton's Africa and Africans in the Making of the Atlantic World. My students begin the unit with a particular set of preconceived ideas about European African interactions based on their previous year in US History, my goal is to continue the process shifting them from a western centered to global view of history. I would be particularly interested in connecting with school's in west Africa in particular. Though any school would be great. We will finish the year with World War I and again, this would be a great place to connect with and develop a project that refocuses my students from the perspective of the war they learned in US History to a more nuanced appreciation of why this was a global war and not just the US sweeping in to save France and England and the allies punishing the Germans in to WWII.
I am going to post this as a discussion thread here in the collaboration projects area as well.
Westtown School is not that far from Chestnut Hill but I am very interested in exploring projects that take my students outside of school working with others.
Kader,
I have a teacher in my middle school who teaches a grades 6-8 Global issues course. He maintains a wiki with his students. He is looking to connect with other classes around the world to disuss these issues. Would you be interested in speaking with him?
