Global Collaboration Projects
The two Global Collaboration Projects (GCPs) I chose to explore involved a
holiday card project and an art project. Each of the projects allows teachers and
students an opportunity to participate in activities that initially do not involve a
digital component but progress towards digital activities. In the Holiday Card
Project students create greeting cards to exchange with other classes with a
Google Presentation sharing their card and Flipgrids explaining their favorite
holiday tradition. I an extension activity allows the class an opportunity to
participate in a Mystery Skype which I think would be great for my students. My
students love solving mysteries and riddles so this activity would pull in several
activities they find exciting. It incorporates teamwork and problem solving
which helps with my standards and is something my students find fascinating. I
believe this activity would allow my students to work on collaboration skills
through each component of the card activity as well as the skype experience. As
the students participate in the activities, it would provide an opportunity to
integrate digital citizenship lessons. The students would build global and cultural
awareness as they learn about different holiday traditions and geographical
regions through the card exchange and the Flipgrid activity.
