Key Collaborative Project Links Project Pathfinder is our guide to collaborative online projects for teachers who are looking for ideas, contacts and resources where they can join or establish their own projects. Importantly, collaborative projects deliver curriculum in a new and exciting way as students and teachers are able to extend the learning experience beyond the traditional boundaries, physical locations, resources and timetables of school. Students and teachers are able to share these with a wide range of individuals of different ages, backgrounds, cultures and regions. Through involvement in GC projects, students may be involved in exploring, observing, recording, constructing, problem solving, sharing, discussing, hypothesising, predicting, co-operating and understanding. Collaborative projects hosted by schools from around the world cover all curriculum areas.
Projects vary in their level of educational benefit, complexity, levels of involvement and duration.
Typically, teachers can choose to involve themselves and their students in collaborative projects in different ways. There are thousands of collaborative projects already operating around the world. We have provided a sampling of some of the more useful sites to look at below if you are considering becoming involved in a collaborative project. Our Project Links and Showcase also provide information about projects and resources in local, national and international schools. While a few of the projects listed in the links below may have been completed, they can still be used as a model for developing your own projects.
