Brazil-U.S. Connections: Teacher-to-Teacher 2007
Science teachers from different states in two countries, Brazil and the U.S., learn, live, and travel together to a unique ecosystem of Brazil (Amazon, Pantanal or Iguazu Falls) and visit Sao Paulo, the third largest city in the world. Visits to public and private schools, learning about the environment and ecology of a specific ecosystem, discussions with knowledgeable persons about educational and cultural changes -- the educators become more aware of the similarities among peoples; they exchange ideas and their dreams and visions of what could be – they connect with each other.
Teachers develop inquiry-based activities that enable their classroom students to communicate with others in Brazil and the U.S. Utilizing technology tools such as interactive computer-based communication, web-cast, email, and web-pages, for example, teachers and students will able to share their ongoing local experiences. Teachers are responsible for an individual project and a group project that involves their students, to be posted on the web and made available for others.
