Global Learning with Technology is a course that has provided me opportunities to explore approaches to broaden my students' horizons and prepare them to be global citizens. I have learned how to protect my students' safety online and promote appropriate digital collaboration. I have also learned how to plan a global collaboration project. The tools I have acquired during this course have introduced me to ways to maintain and organize my resources, facilitate synchronous and asynchronous communication and monitor my students' communication.
The idea that it is possible to connect my classroom globally makes me feel enthusiastic about applying what I have learned in the course.
I have arranged to collaborate with a teacher and her class in Ecuador starting in January. Armed with the knowledge, tools and resources I gained in this course I am confident that it will be a positive learning experience.
