Without professional technical support, teachers could spent many hours with the computers and makes no progress in teaching. Process Contact project participants Contact project participants well in advance of the beginning of the project. You are likely to find that your colleagues have numerous questions, comments, and suggestions regarding the instructional activity. Additionally, you are likely to find that teachers everywhere have rather demanding academic schedules. Adequate lead-time will allow them to schedule their instruction accordingly.
Cultural differences Be sensitive to cultural differences.
Remember that some topics or activities may be excessively controversial or inappropriate in some cultures. Again, it is important to clearly articulate the purpose of the activity and to clearly define your objectives and procedures well in advance. When in doubt about the content, consult your prospective participants. Internet communication across cultural or geographic boundaries can result in misunderstanding. All participants should have a clear sense of the activity's objectives, the involvement and expectations of the students, the duration of the activity, and anticipated outcomes.
