EPals Global Collaboration Project
During week two, we will accomplish the
following:
1. Decide
your group: decide who’s going to be in your group and submit your group member’s
name to me.
2. Decide
your project: the fastest way to get connected would be to join an existing
project but if your group would like to create your own project, please come
and see me.
3. As
a group, write an introduction of your group to initiate a contact with your
project (class abroad). Some information
to include in the introduction can be: number of students, majors, interests,
school name, method of collaboration such as e-mail, video conferencing, etc.,
how many times you’d like to correspond with them, individually or as a group, and
so on. The more detailed your
introduction, the more they can see if both of you would be a good fit for each
other.
4. Once
you join a project, your group will have some idea as to what to collaborate
with your classroom abroad. Discuss
ideas and topics to collaborate each week and submit them to me by the end of
second week. You can even delegate as to
who will initiate the contacts and for which topics. You guys decide as a
group!

Cultural Exchange (This is just a sample!)

This
Global Collaboration project will be a learning experience for both you and I
but I think it will be worth it in the end. Hang in there and if we face any
obstacles, let’s try to problem solve together!
I’m hoping to learn more about this project as well as trying to
incorporate technology into our classrooms so that learning can be fun and
exciting!
Good
luck you guys!
