Reaching from a University to K-12:
How Can We Make Electronic Environments More Collaborative (ACE
Award Winner)
This paper describes an interdisciplinary and multi-grade collaboration
between 5 horticulture and English classes at Clemson University and
eighth-grade students at a local middle school. The focus of this
collaboration was to design and install sustainable learning
landscapes at a local elementary school.

Co-Teaching:
A High School-Higher Ed Connection in Indian Country
Funded by a teacher preparation enhancement grant from the U.S.
Department of Education, we are connecting English education majors
with geographically remote reservation schools of the Yakama Nation in
the state of Washington. Less top-down than the traditional OWL model
and geared toward whole-class instruction at both ends of the online
connection, this model is built on mutual benefit to both institutions
and their respective students.

Virtually Being There:
Creating Authentic Experiences Through Interactive Exchanges
This paper draws upon a two year research project developed from
one professor’s simultaneous need to “make learning real” and to
help students realize the enormous potential computers offer as a
professional development and general learning tool. A print summary
of findings are provided and participants are encouraged to discuss
other projects that relate to these applications.
