• Peters, Chapters 7 and 8
• "You should also not begin a global collaboration just because of the 'coolness factor'--students increasingly demand relevancy, especially older students. Sometimes our innovative efforts in the classroom fail and can seem like a waste, but we have to examine the reasons, for any new initiative takes time for both teachers and students to get used to." -p. 98
  
• In-Class Activity:
  • Think about your curriculum and think of 2 or 3 areas that might benefit from a connection with other classes via the Internet.
