| More than
60 teachers and educators from close to 20 ASEM countries gathered in September
2001 in Singapore for the 1st International Teachers' Conference.
During the Conference, the Asian and European participants formed seven
working groups and consolidated their ideas into feasible online projects.
After three days of enthusiastic group discussions, the teacher participants
managed to present the first steps of, what will hopefully become seven
successful ICT projects.
You
will find a list of all the seven project proposals below.

Effects of Modernisation on Agriculture
The pupils and teachers from the three countries will exchange
information on the impact of modernisation on the input, processes
and output of agriculture. The final product will be a book published
on the internet using Bookmaker - a Dutch software. |

Nuclear Energy
It is an interdisciplinary project which encompasses the disciplines
of geography, English, Swedish, Science and History. There will be
three main discussion groups/forums for discussions:
1) Was the USA justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan?
2) Should my country set up a nuclear power station to meet the increasing
energy demands?
3) Which alternative energy source has the greatest potential of being
developed and harnessed in the country where you live?
Skills such as argumentative writing and ethical issues will be discussed.
Approximately 70 students from each school will participate. The students
will be between 15 - 16 years old with approximately 3-4 teachers
involved from each school. Hopefully, this will lead to a formation
of other partnerships and possible exchanges between schools. |
