Global Connections and Exchange [9], a program of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, links U.S. high school classrooms with students in the Philippines [10] & Vietnam [11] in innovative online projects.
Online projects are virtual collaborative projects around concrete educational goals — think pen pals plus a school project that takes place between your class and partner students in Vietnam or the Philippines. They are free, approximately three weeks long on our forum sites, and are moderated and monitored by GCE staff.
Past project topics have included:
• Mapping My Town
• History Boxes
• "A Day in the Life" Photojournals
• 20 Questions
• Current Events
• Many more!
