Considerations for Global Projects
What are the outcomes?• What skills will students develop?• What are the desired outcomes of the project?• What type of activities could students do?
What is the format?• Are students participating individually or groups?• What is the span, sequence, and scope of the project?• What online environments will be used (Wikis, Skype, Google Docs)• How will information be accessed and shared?
What technology is needed?• An entire computer lab or just 1-2 computers?• Digital cameras, webcams, headsets?• Special software?
Other considerations . . . • Do I need to coordinate with my IT Department to unblock websites?• How will I share this project with administrators and parents?
