global collab
The Project
Launched at the 2013 Global Education conference, "Out My Window" was born from a quest to have students gain global perspective. "Out My Window" classrooms share their world. Inspired by the five themes of geography, students reveal cultural awareness and understanding through original poetry and photography.
The Process
1. Take a photo "out your window".
2. Write a poem incorporating the 5 themes of geography - place, location, human environment interaction, region, and movement. Look below for poetry and 5 themes resources
3. Edit your photo to your liking. Look below for editing tips.
-We suggest overlaying the text onto the image like the example shown, but you can also add it separately if you'd like.
4. Share!
Sharing
1. Create a Flickr account if you don't already have one.
The Flickr #outmywindow group is public and by submitting you agree to the group norms
2. Once you have logged into Flickr and been added to the #outmywindow group, you can start uploading your finished product!
3. Be sure to use our Twitter hashtag - #omw1415 to continue sharing your work!
One of the ways that educators can benefit from using Twitter is to participate in any number of Twitter chats. Twitter chats are scheduled events or conversations that use a specific hashtag in an attempt to organize a conversation around a particular topic.
