Literature Review
While developing this project, I researched similar telecollaborative projects.
Holidays and Festivals Around the World--A National Geographic Project
This project has students across the world researching holidays and celebrations within their culture and nations. The final project is to develop a presentation or representation of the holiday/celebration. This project allows students to experience knowledge from a different area without having to leave the classroom. The project is similar with each class researching a topic and sharing the information. The limitations that this project has are that it lacks ongoing communication and communication among individual students.

Natural Disasters Multi-Classroom Collaborative Learning Adventure--An ePals Project
This project has multiple classrooms researching the same topics and concerns with natural disaster. After research is conducted on the natural resources, the participating classrooms will develop a presentation to teach others about the topic they researched. Once the project is completed, students are able to comment and reflect on student presentations. This project had the students sharing and being able to reflect and respond to the other student, which is similar to mine. There is no progression or revisiting the topic within this project, which my project
allows for.

Weather Around the World
This project has students create pictorial web graphs of their area, which are posted monthly. The information provided is used in a variety of manners. This is similar to my project in that the students are generating the information that is posted. This project lacks communication among the students to gain further understanding into the concepts.
