Telecollaborative projects are when a group is assigned to complete an assignment while being in different settings. They can be in different states, cities, or even rooms. These assignments will most likely be completed by email, or even on the phone. The basic concept is that the students are in separate rooms. Telecollaborative projects can also become a very positive way of grouping and working on assignments. The example on the article about the teacher that required her students to work on a telecollaborative project had a great experience and decided to reflect on the experience. Her students were from Canada and allowed her students to work with students from Israeli. Allowing students to work with students so far away and from such a diverse background can be very fun and exciting. The students would be able to learn a lot from each other and could possible development a fun or serious relationship.
The assignment that was done by this Canadian teacher showed how the students were so alike, although there was terror going on in Israeli, the students in Israeli did not mention anything about their experience at their home town. The reflections that were written by the students then showed how different and showed reality of what the Israeli students were going through.
