Encouraging Classroom Implementation

        Step 1 - Teachers should be encouraged to introduce an on-line collaborative or real-time project into their classroom.  The project should be chosen to replace a topic already in the curriculum which uses a different instructional approach. The CIESE On-Line Curriculum Projects page is a good resource, as well as the Savvy Cyber Teacher Reference Page on collaborative projects.
 

        Step 2 - Teachers should be encouraged to share resources both within the school and with other schools in the district.

        Step 3 - As teachers grow more experienced, they should be encouraged to develop their own curriculum projects.  This involves a committment on behalf of the school district to provide the time and resources for their professional staff to work together on these sort of projects.  Examples of these sort of projects can be found on the the IKE , Project Link  and Science Link pages on the CIESE web site.
