This project used an ICT workspace to enable pre-service teachers in Barcelona, Spain, to communicate with in-service teachers in Chicago, USA, about issues of teaching and culture. This qualitative paper reports on the nature of the experience from the views of the participants and professors. Surmounting language differences, participants learned about another culture, learned about alternative ways of teaching, and learned about themselves as risk takers. The collaborative learning environment helped them transcend their immediate context.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
