A collaborative project is intended to allow interested individuals (students and teachers) at different institutions to collaborate on research projects / activities in a meaningful way.

The eight (8) categories for the Web-based research project are: Local Leaders; Community Groups and Special Populations; Businesses and Organizations; Local Specialties, Sports and Health; Local Attractions (Natural and Man Made); Historical Landmarks; Environmental Awareness and Issues; and Local Culture, Music and Art Forms.

 * Great for science teachers. The Global Sun Temperature project could probably be used in social studies class with some adjustments made.


 * **Global Virtual Classroom**
 * http://www.virtualclassroom.org/contest/2B.html
 * Students from around the world ages 7-18 work together to build a website on a topic of their choosing. One hundred teams of 3 schools can participate in this contest that runs from October to March.

 * This site contains several collaborative projects that you can join. Some have already been completed and you can use the information that was gathered by someone else and use it in your classroom. There are many different topics to choose from and can be use by social studies, math, and science teachers.
