Short Session Description (one line):
A session for those looking for guidance on launching their first successful online collaborative project.
Full Session Description (as long as you would like):
Have you ever thought of joining up with another classroom across the globe to complete a project, but needed some guidance? If so, this is the session for you!
Taking ideas from ‘Flat Classroom’ and beyond, we will focus on effective strategies and useful tools rather than a step-by-step guide on how to use particular apps. (However, tutorials will be provided in the session materials, so you can choose the most relevant ones to work through in your own time later.)
Examples of projects will be shared from groups in Malaysia who were given the opportunity to work with students in the US. Although examples shared will be from the 11-18 age range and from an English (Language Arts) classroom, the tools and process are applicable to any subject with any literate age group who can use the Internet.
It is intended that participants will leave well-equipped and confident in approaching collaborative online projects, with a wealth of resources behind them.
