Collaborative projects on the Internet give pupils a powerful means of expressing themselves, present their ideas to others, examine and critique their own work, collaborate and receive feedback from a worldwide audience.

The process can help the pupils involved to:
  • become better writers
  • foster thinking skills, imagination and problem solving
  • transfer what they have learnt in one environment to new settings
  • participate in experiential, or "living" curriculum
  • work collaboratively and independently

  • improve communication and critical thinking as they investigate, articulate and disseminate information on the Internet
  • communicate and share ideas with others around the world, free from physical limits and time constraints of the school environment
  • become global citizens by expanding their view of the world and their place in it
  • promote such higher-order thinking skills as analysis and divergent questioning
