My first successful collaborative project

When Erika contacted me earlier this year to join her Scrapbooking Project, I had some doubts (see my this previous post). I tried another telecollaborative project last year but most of the workload was on me. Probably students had not felt involved.
I cannot say this project was not hard work, but I felt encouraged by the fact that my students worked hard too.
Erika sent me a survey for my students and their answers to the last two questions represent how they felt about the project:

In what ways have you changed after this project? What have you learned from it? I learned to share with my schoolmates I learned how nice it is to participate in international projects I learned about the culture of other people and countries I understood English a bit more. I liked to meet people from another country. I learned many new words and phrases I learned to read and write better than before I have a better relation with my classmates. Would you like to participate in an international project again? YES (12) NO (1)

Have a look at my students' album and some of their photos.
