Inside My Global Classroom | Powerful Learning Practice - 0 views

  • When Hiram Cuevas from Virginia wanted his students to understand the Black Saturday bushfire tragedy that had befallen Victoria in 2009, our students arrived at school before the start of the school day, and his stayed late, so that we could establish a meaningful discussion around the events. Our students and staff were so touched that kids and teachers in a school as far away as Virginia were interested and concerned about events in our part of the world.
  • Probably most important: establish good connections with the teachers you will be working with. Remain in constant contact, double check your time zones (including quirks like daylight savings time policies in each community), and test your connections before starting time.

    "Over the last two years, students from my school have been fundraising to support Daraja Academy, a school in Kenya that is providing free education for impoverished girls who would be lost to education without such support. I found out about Daraja through Jabiz Raisdana, a teacher I met at a conference in Shanghai and who is in my Twitter network. Jabiz put me onto Mark Lukach, a teacher from San Francisco who is an advocate for Daraja, and acts as a bridge helping people understand the cause. Mark and I remain in contact through email and Twitter, and he has Skyped into our school on several occasions, enthusiastically conveying to our students the need to support girl education in places like Africa where women are so vital to the functioning of society."
