create and facilitate their own projects to fit their own particular classroom and
curriculum needs.
The International Education and Resource Network (iEARN) enables participants
to join existing structured online projects, or work with others internationally to
create and facilitate their own projects to fit their own particular classroom and
curriculum needs.
- ePals Projects for Classroom Collaboration
(http://www.epals.com/projects/info.aspx?DivID=index )
The topics are standards-based and of global interest. Each project is designed
to be used as is or customized to your classroom’s needs. An easy way to find a
classroom with which to partner is to check the “Connect with Classrooms”
forum on the project index page for posts by interested classrooms. - Project Based Learning at High Tech High
(http://hightechhigh.org/projects/ )
These projects are examples of the work that is done at all of the High Tech High
Schools. Students can show their parents and friends the work that they have
done, and the community can see how project based learning enables
students to do and learn. - In the Classroom

From project-based and expeditionary learning to an increased focus on
financial literacy to a more effective use of communications technologies, this
collection of videos from across the nation shows how our children's school
experiences are being enhanced and expanded, every day, due to an
awareness of the need for 21st century education. - NASA Outreach Projects

NASA offers several project-based learning modules with space exploration
themes for students in grades 3 through graduate school, based on research
conducted by the Human Research Program. Modules emphasize skills and
learning in math, science, health and fitness. - Core Concepts of Systems Engineering
(http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/seproject/index.html )
This telecollaborative project is designed to provide students in grades 9-12 with
an orientation to systems engineering concepts. Students will be provided with
an overview of systems thinking including the systems model. Through guided
activities students will reverse-engineer a common device that contains both
electrical and mechanical components and then create a systems diagram for
the deconstructed device. Students will create reassembly instructions and
diagrams that partner schools worldwide will use in their attempt to reconstruct
