Looking for collaborators

Hi I am looking for some help. I am a geography teacher from Sydney Australia. My uear 8 class are studying Globalisation at the moment. I am hoping to start a project where the students either design a poster about themsleves and Australia or respond to the issue of gloablisation. I would then like to have students/classes from around the globe (any age group, although preferbly high school) comment on their work. At the moment I am thinking of either using Voice Thread or Slidehare.

I hope someone can help me out. My class would really get a kick out of it.

Hi Miss Scib. I am in an Educational Technology master degree program and I have some classmates who are high school teachers and will be looking to start a global learning project at the end of this month as a fulfillment of our Global Learning Project assignment. Would you care if I shared your post with the two high school teachers that are my classmates and maybe they can email you and hopefully get something going?

Hi Thomas

This does sound good. We are currently on our summer holidays. Our new school year starts in February. I will email you then and perhaps we can start something up.

Happy New Year

Kathy

Hi Miss Scib,

I am a facilitator at a 4-11th grade paperless network project based environment in Florida, USA. I know that any/all of our students would love to look over your student work and provide feedback. They would also be really interested in sharing some of their work as well if you are up for it.

You can email me at jdsamyh@gmail.com if you want to set up a collaboration.

Take care,

Amy H.

Hi Amy

Sounds excellent, could be across a few years and subject areas. We are on our summer holidays and don't start our new school year till February. But I will email you then and we can set something up.

Happy New Year

Kathy
