Students prepare materials for those marching in the 1998 Global March Against Child Labor. Project participants are asked to write letters to the ILO and the UNO to speak out against child labor. They gather data and perform research about lifestyles, conditions and places effected by the wars of our world. Project tasks change regularly and challenge students to design and share medals, present works on particular themes, and email government officials about war and war tactics. Students learn that people of different cultures share many of the same thoughts, feelings, and dreams.
Indigenous students collaborate with each other and their non-indigenous peers on research projects.
They share writing and art work and communicate to learn about one another. Each month a different student's artwork and writing is showcased on the Internet. Winning projects are available on-line. Co-NECT sponsors projects that you and your students may participate in with other classes. These projects are interdisciplinary, focused on real world authentic issues, force kids to think and solve problems cooperatively and use technology to extend and enrich the learning process.
