This book provides a nexus between research and practice through
teachers' narratives of their experiences with telecollaboration.
The book begins with a chapter outlining the pedagogical and
theoretical underpinnings of telecollaboration (also known as
Virtual Exchange), followed by eight chapters that explain
telecollaborative project design, materials and activities as well
as frank discussions of obstacles met and resolved during the
project implementation. The projects described in the volume serve
as excellent examples for any teacher or education stakeholder
interested in setting up their own telecollaborative exchange.
Based on a research project supported by the European Foundation,
this book explores how primary and secondary students in four
different European countries view theirs and the world’s future.
The results indicate that there is a gap between students’
perspectives about the future and a clear pedagogical base for
helping students confront many issues that are significant to them.
The importance of ensuring students become critically aware
citizens and helping them develop the ability and skills necessary
for facing the challenges of the future are patent. This book
spells out specific ways in which the issues which emerged from the
study can be approached from diverse fields (geography, language
learning and arts and crafts). It also discusses some
cross-disciplinary educational issues relevant to all teachers –
general education and cross-disciplinary, as well as offering two
proposals on how teachers can count on sufficient psychological
support to face the challenges of teaching in an increasingly
complex environment and promote cooperative behaviour in the
classroom.
