Easy to navigate; structure is clear (sections and sub sections); no instances of being ÔstrandedÕ without a way to continue or return. Only way to navigate is by using the browserÕs back button to the main page.

Collaboration Content reflects the participation of all 3 schools, such as sharing research, or technical expertise, or artwork. Credits on each page indicate which students from each country created that page or contributed to the content. (Web work can be done by one school as long as others contributed to content and/or graphics.) Each school made their own pages independently, with no apparent interaction. No indication of collaboration. Site appears to be the work of only one school.
Connections Evidence of collaborative process in chat, Skype or other methods documented on the site. No evidence of collaborative discussions.
Reflections Teacher and student reflections reflect learning through collaboration with partners. No reflections included.
