Collaboration Zones

During GoNorth! Fennoscandia 2008, students can collaborate in four Zones…actually in five: the Explore Zone, Climate Zone, Culture Zone, Earth Zone and the Dog Zone.

The Zones have been closed for new postings - with this year's program coming to an end. The Zones will be open for postings February - May 2009 during the live  adventure learning program GoNorth! Greenland 2009.

In the meantime, Check out the many student postings from GoNorth! Fennoscandia 2008.

Once you know how to work in one (and it should be very straightforward), you will know how to work them all.

Note: Only registered classrooms can enter the Zones.

Zone Contest !!

This contest is for students, teachers, and classes that contribute their work to the Collaboration Zones.

What's a Zone?

During each module, learners are challenged to visit the Collaboration Zone to get involved with learning more.

Students are asked to submit their observations and creative work . They can write a riddle, draw a picture, compose an article, essay, or short story, create a cartoon, make a PowerPoint presentation, sing a song, take a picture, make a movie – anything they can think of to illustrate their thoughts on the Module’s topic.

By posting their work, students not only learn, but inspire the rest of us and create public awareness!

Why Zone?

Collaborative forums create authentic learning situations while expanding personal horizons
