The World Banks Economic Development Institute in collaboration with the National Science Foundation and the Center for Children and Technology will be hosting two collaborative workshops for educators from the United States and Latin America. Teachers and administrators from Latin American countries have been participating in the World Links for Development Program (WorLD) linking students and teachers with participants from other countries that have successfully implemented telecommunications projects. These anchor workshops will be an opportunity to: * work with experts in the field to understand the context for their work, the kinds of teaching practices that have thus far proved most effective, and problem solving techniques; gain in-depth knowledge of the kinds of projects and pedagogical practices that they could implement when teachers return to their schools in the fall; * plan for collaborative working among secondary school teachers from the US and Latin American countries, and identify specific planning for teacher-partnerships for the school year; * consider questions of context and culture, how the projects may need to be refined to take this into account, and how it might affect telecommunications-enhance learning. Upon return to the schools, teachers will implement collaborative projects they have chosen and refined with cross-national partners at the workshops. Data will be collected through the research component of the project to probe the process of implementation, problems that may arise, effects of participation on teachers and students and cultural factors that may affect implementation.

世界银行经济发展研究所将与国家科学基金会和儿童与技术中心合作，为美国和拉丁美洲的教育工作者举办两次合作讲习班。来自拉丁美洲国家的教师和管理人员一直在参加世界发展联系方案(WORLD)，将学生和教师与成功实施电信项目的其他国家的参与者联系起来。这些重要的工作坊将是一个机会：*与业内专家合作，了解他们的工作背景、迄今证明最有效的教学做法和解决问题的技巧；深入了解他们可以在秋季教师返回学校时实施的项目和教学做法；*计划美国和拉丁美洲国家的中学教师之间的协作工作，并为本学年的教师伙伴关系确定具体计划；*考虑背景和文化问题，项目可能需要如何改进以考虑到这一点，以及它可能如何影响电信--加强学习。回到学校后，教师将在研讨会上实施他们选择的合作项目，并与跨国合作伙伴一起完善。将通过该项目的研究部分收集数据，以探讨实施过程、可能出现的问题、参与对师生的影响以及可能影响实施的文化因素。
