This Online Social Network scene is really starting to make sense to me. I like being able to read my student's blogs and those of other Globaloria educators and their classes. I learn from them, I am inspired by them. In concentrating on having my students writing, reading, commenting, learning from each other and their peers, reaching out for help..... it happened to me. I like it. Surprise, surprise.
As Jim Alder was saying the other day, lessons learned, and confidence gained here in Globaloria are now spilling over into our other classes as well. I have my International Studies class posting research on a wiki with collaborating students from Japan, Scotland and Germany, so far. I am setting up a wiki for my French students to post their writing. I hope to soon set up a blog with an American ex-pat living in Paris where he can answer questions that my students want to know about living in France. The possibilities are endless.
Liz! This is great to read! I'm glad you're getting the hang of all this. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Just wait to your students start developing their games and you play them. It is truly fun work.
