|
The
main goals to be achieved by Giangukai project
online can be summed up as:
• exchange;
• acquaintance and friendship;
• comparison;
• stimulus and motivation;
• research.
When children browse the Giangukai project
online, they will look at their and their partner’s
school’s work. Then back in the classroom, the resulting
discussion on what they have seen may perhaps stimulate
the search for other new personal and interpersonal
links, links that can then be put onto the website
and shared with all the other children.
In general, the Giangukai project will characterise
itself as a Learning
Community in
which the children will alternately constitute
Speaking Communities
(in their classroom) and real Collaborative Writing
Communities (on the internet). The themes
and subjects the children will discuss together
will thus be the occasion for establishing a long-distance
‘writing’ collaborative link, and the
website will be the key instrument in ensuring this
intercultural exchange. |
