Issues and trends
Giving students the opportunities to connect and create globally gives them experiences they will always remember, and lay the foundation for 21st century skills they will need in the future.
In our classroom we work, connect, and create globally. One of the main ways our classroom connects globally is by participating in ePals- electronic pen pals. Our students are given the opportunity to weekly communicate with their ePals. We have even had a few chances to Skype with some of our ePals!! |
Another project we had the opportunity to participate in allowed us to work with a class in another country to write an e-book about numbers.
