This is the Philippine Schools CyberFair Project discussion list focusing on issues related to this project. Collaborative, community-based learning projects are designed to foster respect and appreciation while strengthening communication between schools and local communities. If you host, participate in, or are simply interested in this project, we hope you will join our community. The purpose of this discussion area is to: * Explore how technology can connect schools and their local communities in a way that is beneficial to both; * Articulate the benefits of involving students in the evaluation and review process; * Share stories about CyberFair and similar projects, and discuss the significance of involving students in real-world learning activities; * Ask thought-provoking questions and encourage dialogue among participants. Your host is Janette Toral an ambassador of the Philippines School CyberFair program.
