ONLINE COLLABORATION PROJECTS
Well, the 2009-2010 school year is well underway! We were happy to announce that The Teacher's Corner will be offering 5 Online Collaboration Projects this school year. The collaboration projects will be learning activities that provide collaboration between two or more classrooms.  The participating classrooms will be from various locations around the world, will use the Internet to interact with one another and will be working on a similar topic for a specific length of time.  Using the Internet students and teachers will share their activities, findings and reflections. In addition to student collaboration, teachers will also be provided with the necessary tools to collaborate with one another.

We are beginning to receive student work from our December Traditions collaborative project! Visit the Showcase page to see their wonderful pictures. Students have the opportunity to show off their artistic skills while sharing a tradition they celebrate during the month of December, or during the winter holiday season. This is a simple project that won't take up much classroom time. Learn more and REGISTER your class today!! The project will run from November 29th-December 31st. (There is a portion of the project that needs to be completed by December 11th.) REGISTRATION IS OPEN

Our next project will focus on the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Be sure to watch for more details as the project date gets closer. The project registration is currently set to open January 18th.
