There are many tips on getting in touch and working with partner schools worldwide. Maybe you'll find it useful too. Best wishes, Aleksandra Kathy,

I too am trying to initiate global connections and wondered what were the sites that you found most productive to identify potential schools. I liked your definitions of schooliness -- was brought here by them! Hi, Thanks for sharing the example above.

Global collaborative learning changes students attitude to their usual school activities. It also involves and motivates us teachers, makes classes and our work more interesting. The information exchange make us all see ‘old’ facts from a new perspective which helps us educators create authentic learning process. The use of technology makes almost all kinds of communication possible and helps a lot. Kids love seeing their work, photos and their pals on the net. Even a usual and not very interesting task like watching a school’s website becomes exciting when children know their friends study there. I am really glad Mike has invited us to the project. Thanks one more time. We have met friends in St. Louis – the students and their teachers Mike and Pat. Thank you for the cooperation, we’ve been enjoying it a lot! Junior High #4 students are interested in being in touch and learning with students from abroad. We have also been taking part in other projects such as Global Dreamers www.globaldreamers.org and Cyberteen Magazine www.op97.org/cyberteen . We are open to your suggestions on other Global Collaboration topics exchange.

Mike's project is a great example of a "real teacher" taking initiative and using technology to make the learning experience more meaningful and relevant. We'd be glad to work with your social studies teacher...just drop me a line and we'll figure something out :) pat Ann,
