Collaboration Projects

Projects Developed by NYCDOE Teachers that include opportunities for local, national, and international collaboration.

Why Do We Support Project-Based Learning?

Technology and creativity are joined in the classroom like never before, fueling our students' drive to explore the curriculum in greater detail. Student achievement requires the skills that project-based learning provides. Students who are invested in project based learning:
  • Develop global communication skills
  • Develop global work ethic
  • Develop critical thinking and problem solving skills
  • Learn the ability to work on a team
  • Become information literate
  • Learn to survive in a global economy
  • Develop nonfiction literacy skills
  • Develop technology skills

Professional development is available on all these curriculum-related, standards-driven, technololgy-rich project-based learning units of study. Contact the Manhattan Office of Instructional Technology at oitm@schools.nyc.gov
