The global classroom project was an initiative designed by teachers and
students to "enhance student learning through a collaborative theme-based
project model utilising telecommunications technology".
In the final and summative work conducted by Dr. Elaine Atkinson from the Centre for the Study of Higher Education, of the entire two year, state wide project, the conclusion stated: "The Global Classroom Telecommunications project has shown that network learning is not, as some would see it, most approriately undertaken by individuals in isolation. Rather, through projects of this type, it has proved to be a highly effective avenue for cooperative learning in group settings." But perhaps, the detail of some 140 pages of evaluation research over two years can best be sumarised in the words of those that have completed the journey from 'footsteps to songlines'. |
The GCP makes school MUCH more interesting and exciting...
It helps your education, your future...you can't lose out on it...
Year 9 Student Phase 3 school 1996
The GCP has provided me with a new outlook on teaching. I am inspired to learn new ways to use technology to enhance teaching and learning. I have come a long way in 5 Months and I am now in a position to make informed decisions.
A wonderfully supportive group of visionary educationlists... An exhausting but exhilirating experience...
The GCP has highlighted the imperative on educators to prepare their clientele for a challenging and changing future. It has fostered student-centred classrooms and has provided (me) with an opportunity to access a broad network of motivated teachers
willing to work collaboratively for clearly defined outcomes"...
