Global Education- Bring the World to Our Scholars



Brainstorm- What skills do we want our scholars to have when they approach college?
TED Talks- Diana Laufenberg- Learn from Mistakes (Blocked by AACPS but can be accessed at home) 6 min mark is where she really gets into it

Why Global Education? (At the end of the workshop we will decide)

 * Not always going to work with someone next to you
 * Viewpoints
 * Learn about the world- Know whats out there- Virtual tours help
 * Experience things they are not exposed to
 * Develop 21st century skills

Photos from Session- We used Thinking Maps 

How ?

Telecollaborative Projects

<span style="background-color: #c0c0c0; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Web Quests <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #6b46c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University, as "an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the Internet." When considering a Web Quest, make sure to have a plan in mind on how you want scholars to work together and how work will be assessed. Creating a rubric on RubiStar is the best bet and often great WebQuests should have a rubric already created.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #6b46c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Great WebQuests should also be authentic, have a challenging task, be based around an open ended questions, collaborative, involve high order thinking, and involves some scaffolding to assist scholars in their discovery.
