Connecting students around the globe
Posted on June 3, 2008 at 12:21am 1 Comment 0 Likes
I have a vision where students connect with their peers from around the world. Why? Because it's interesting. It's challenging to create global friendships, across cultures and across seas. And it's interesting to learn what other are studying. Even the very precise studies, like math, are not exact all over the world. Sometimes you need help figuring out a problem and someone from across the world, who studied it in a different way, will offer that different angle that opens your eyes. This is… Continue

Hey there -
Thanks for the really good question. I teach in the humanities and much of the grading is on completion of academic tasks, written/verbal reflection and projects. At my school we use a common rubric for the large projects which we call benchmarks.
Grading is on learning task completion, willingness to engage in the learning activities and evidence learning. A large portion of their grade comes from 2-3 large projects given over the course of the quarter and then assessed with a more filled out version of the rubric skeleton I linked to above.
Talk soon,
Diana

Neal said… - Hi
I reflected on my reply to your games in education thread shortly after posting and found my writing to be overly argumentative. Hence the deletion. Too much arguing using in-game chat maybe. :D
I'll try giving it another shot today.

Lisa Rosa said… - Hi, Or-Tal, if your daughter's class is interested in triangle-contacts, I would find an interested an adequate class in Hamburg, and we could begin to connect the two classes. Do you see any chance to find a palestinian class in Jaffa to connect with? To get an ongoing comunication between us it would be better mailing to my address: erosa@gmx.net.

- Hi Or-Tal, I'm very glad to have contact with you. I'm planning to develop a project between students/schools in Hamburg and in Israel - not only digital but also face to face - and not only with jewish but perhaps also with palestinian students. Mabe something like Neve Shalom. And I'm looking for a cooperation partner in Israel. Are you perhaps interested?
Shalom

- OK, forgot one thing. All the stundents in my school have english as a foreign language but they probably won't be able to participate very actively in the 5th grade (even with the help of the english teacher). But will talk with some of the english teachers and we will study how to participate in your project.
