Teacher Education Meets Global Project-
Based Learning

The Global Monster Project joins elementary classes from
the United States and around the world to collaborate on a
standards based project. Students in a classroom work
together to conceptualize and describe one part of a
complete monster. The descriptions are then shared with
the other participating classes, who use each description to
create a complete monster. Students discover that designing
and building a monster together is a challenging task, and
the project becomes a major lesson in working together and
learning to compromise in a group decision process.
Through this project students and teachers are meeting new
colleagues across the globe while collaborating, sharing
digital media, and using geographic resources. Dr. Smith
taught in the elementary classroom for 14 years using a
project-based learning approach and has taught online
educational technology courses. This session will highlight
