About the Project
Who Can Participate:
Any grade level may participate but the primary audience would be Kindergarten - 3rd grade (ages 4-9).
The geographical location for preferred countries include those close to an ocean; however, the project is not limited to those countries so everyone can benefit from this experience. |
Requirements: Participants are required to have internet access, email account, camera, scanner and some knowledge of how to navigate on the computer.
The main source of communication and sharing work with partners on the GLP include: Gmail, online chat room, blogs, widget, forums, Voicethread and Padlet. Additional technology resources recommended, but not necessary, include the following: Glog/Glogster, Google Docs, Skype, Google Hangouts, and Language Translator. |
When to Start:
This project is offered annually beginning in the fall of 2014- April 2015.
Classes may work at their own pace. The suggested time frame to complete this project is within 1-3 weeks, considering the flexibility of time spent and/or between the classes participating. Classes can also work independently and submit finished project to show case in the Padlet and Glog. Four weeks will be designated for research, writing process and art work. Collaboration will depend on the classes participating. The last week will be focused in creating the final book or Glog. |
