I find it is really good for someone else to query me about the activities that I am involved in, as it does give an opportunity for consolidation and reflection and highlights the amazing outcomes that the flatclassroom or other global connections bring.<BR/>Another good global project ning for younger students is http://projectsbyjen.ning.com as these are often quick, simple projects with the opportunity to gain global connections of an ongoing nature. The http://es1001tales2009.wikispaces.com and http://ms1001tales.wikispaces.com are two other projects that we like being involved in.<BR/>As we live in a small rural community, our parents are so supportive of the work that we are doing with global projects and flatclassrooms. One parent (of primary school students), who we were really careful in our approach with at a parent/teacher information session last year as we knew that they were quite negative about our involvement in technology and should be concentrating on literacy and numeracy, came to me last week and thanked me for what we were doing and congratulated us on our achievements.<BR/>Our students are learning digital communication and literacy skills, coupled with digital citizenship protocol, an absolute necessity in their future working life. They learn first hand from others in other countries about culture, geography, experiences etc and make lifelong friendships.<BR/>Any subject can take on global projects and I would encourage any who read this post, to take on this amazing opportunity that now presents itself to educators in a digital world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
