DESCRIPTION

The focus of this presentation was on promoting global collaboration for science teachers. We briefly described what is meant by collaboration and gave multiple reasons why it is so important to connect globally. The majority of time is spent looking at how students can effectively work together. Shared a protocol on on to initiate a project, locate teachers, and develop a task. Little time was given to show how to monitor learning--another session needed. A few effective collaborative tools were also demonstrated. A tough job as the conference does not have wi-fi!
