How do we connect with global education communities?
According to Orlando (2008), Sun Microsystems is one ways to connect with global education. It's a network that create EduConnection.org and OSUM that encourage information and conversation sharing between students and educators.

Whom did you find for students to connect with?
This site, http://generaleducation.appstate.edu/making-local-global-connection, is very interesting because student are able to make connection with other student around the world to learn about each other cultures by exploring each other multiple strategies.
I also found this site, http://pd.tiged.org/, to be very education for teacher to understand about Global Education before connection with student.
How did you find it?
I mostly Googel everything that I want to find by typing what I needed to find. After typing what I want to find, I would go over each site or document or pdf carefully that was showing base on what I want to find before chose the best one.
What are possible conversation points?
This one is a little confusing, after a couple research, and look at a couple blogs from classmate, I agree with Teresa that possible conversation points is conversation that is limitedless for teachers and students. I also think that it is conversation between people about a topic.
How will your students/your connect?
Well, I am not a teacher now but will be in the future. What I saw is that students are connected during class assignment that are assigned by teacher. Also according to some research that I found, I saw that student will connect when the topic is interesting and fun to make their discussion.
Find at least one unique resource to post.
There are many sites that are unique and interesting about global education. the one that I would chose is Sun Microsystems, by Orlando (2008): http://www.prweb.com/releases/sun_microsystems/open_source/prweb1543194.htm
This is similar to something that Ariel found in which teachers can share their curriculum. What a great resource to have as a future (and new!) teacher.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of teachers sharing their ideas with each other. I feel like sometimes teachers want to keep their ideas secret but we're all working towards a common goal so I think it's great that teachers share ideas that are working for them.
ReplyDeleteI love this website for sharing curriculum. I have bookmarked it for future use. I agree with Sarah that it's great for teachers to share their ideas and experience about how those ideas went. I have been lucky in the people that I have meet while studying to become a teacher. Everyone has been extremely helpful. They are more than willing to share advice, information, and to answer endless questions that I have thrown at them! Most of the blog sites that I have visited seem to want to helpout. It's nice to have these resources to fall back on!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs a future teacher, I realize that I am going to need all the help I can get. And it will be tools lik this that will be a great resource for me my first few years in! Thanks Sheng!
ReplyDeleteI think it's nice that there are resources out there for teachers in which they can collaborate and share curriculum ideas. I found another site called Curriki (www.curriki.org) which would also be useful for us when we become elementary teachers.
ReplyDeleteAs a new teacher in the classroom, any advice and collaboration that one could get from experienced teachers is good, in my mind.
ReplyDeleteIt would be especially interesting to learn from teachers in other nations besides just the U.S.
