Why have I done this? What use could it have? Why didn't I simply create a reading comprehension & stick some pictures in?Well ...The students all visited the locations in Kyoto on a school trip last December so they are relevant to themI will create comprehension questions for the students to answer - a simple activity (but important in gauging their understanding of the unit vocab and kanji)I will embed or link to the map in our class ning so that the students can access the map from anywhere at anytime and comment on the whole process. Easy access.I will invite the class as collaborators (allowing them to edit the map) and have them add to the map. Each student will be given 2 locations that they have visited and will be required to write a written piece in each placemark describing the location and what you can do there.Students will then (via the ning forum) comment on each others creations and suggest grammar and vocabulary that they could have used

But before doing any of that, I'm going to assign the final exam essay questions in the first week of class, and have the students Diigo the hell out of our readings and forums on Ning for the rest of the course in order to arrive at their "answers."

With the use of quality networking tools, we can as a professional expand our learning and conversation and bring a true sense of understanding to the communities in which we work. I would even guess that if used properly, we could drag the “parking lot conversations” that are currently happenning online into the staff room and even the administrators office where they could be productively dealt with in effective and productive ways.

IMAGINE a faculty meeting where a ning site was set up to allow for followup questions and online conversation.

People are more apt to give you accurate and honest feedback immediately following a meeting instead of days and weeks afterward.
Educating With "The Big Three": Critical Thinking, Interdisciplinary Thought, & the Tra... - 1 views

This type of rigorous thought will only come with altering the structure to include more collaboration and realignment of priorities to ensure that adequate time is spent discussing “cross sections” of curriculum. Since time is a valuable priority, I would suggest a virtual set-up (via blogs or a Ning) that allows for ideas to flow freely. In addition, including some aspect of this in end-of-year summaries for teachers and administrators would stimulate more of a sense of urgency to deal with this problem. I contend that much of the reason these types of assignments do not exist is the product of a lack of time for teachers to develop strong collegial relationships with teachers that they normally do not come in contact with. The key is that we need to break the tradition of “closed door” classrooms and allow professionals from other departments, schools, and districts in to acquire a gauge on what students are studying in other subject areas.

By working to create a culture and structure that cultivate deeper professional relationships between teachers of different backgrounds, the challenge of assignments can only improve.
