Students will design safe, memorable, and highly interactive online projects for classrooms of all grade levels that yield tangible educational and social benefits.  Students will identify the best places to find reliable partner schools – domestic or international, explore the most effective techniques to maximize student performance in an online environment, and gain first-hand experience with some of the safest and most effective online collaborative and social networking tools. In addition, they will examine the theory of collaborative group work and how to apply key concepts in the practical setting of collaborative online projects.  The pinnacle of the course is an assignment that challenges students to put the theory into practice by developing a short collaborative workshop or event, and then showcasing their results to the rest of the class.
