I do some project based learning. Often those projects are collaborative both within my classroom and with other classrooms around the world. We used iEARN (International Education and Resource Networking) forums to help us communicate with others. Two of the projects we are doing are the Teddy Bear Project and the Water Habitat Project. It is amazing how motivated students are when the project goes beyond the classroom.
The hardest part is getting time to do a good job of integrating the project into curriculum and to assess the project itself for areas to improve. It seems like the days fly so fast! I think that by replicating projects it helps eliminate some of the time needed. However, my students and I are always thinking of wonderful new things to do!
