Telecollaboration seems like it would be an excellent tool to help engage students with learning and also with their peers across the US and world. As a future social studies teacher I hope I would be able to find the time to include at least one telecollaborative project into a semester. With the emphasis on curriculum and testing, teachers do not have the extra time to include projects that take so much more time, but the benefits seem to be worth it.
I really liked the Iearn projects and Thinkquest. Both sites had projects that were telecollaborative than just seeking information on the internet.
Did anyone ever do a telecollaborative project with their class? I was wondering how you were able to implement it into your curriculum.
