I read into the case study 3.3 of Leah Obach and Devon Cadwell, and I found out about more collaborative tools that I can use as a future global educator to reach out to other parts of the world. In this case study, it is said that Leah and Devon are currently teachers at an elementary school. These two teachers had their students learn globally consistently for a whole year. Which leads their students to learn and share many online collaborative projects and resources. Digging into more about the teachers, I found that Leah has a Twitter and a blog where she has many informational blog posts. I had recently checked out the one titled “Tech Tools to Connect with.” In that blog, she gives us a few collaborative tools of use during this pandemic, and this includes Microsoft office 365, seesaw, google suite for education, and Flipgrid. Each of those tools is good to use to connect with the kids online in your classroom and outside the classroom! I am proving her Twitter @mrsobachsclass and a link to her blog click here!
Case Study 3.1 describes Mali Beickley from Canada, who has 34 years of experience in teaching. Over the past 12 years, she has used ICT and successfully had her students connect, communicate, and collaborate with several classes worldwide. As a classroom teacher, Mali used global education projects to integrate reading and writing strategies into projects that connect to others around the world. Mali has her students get involved in project competitions and global workshops! She is an assistant coordinator of the IEARN Canada and designs and facilitates many international projects. She has created her own way to connect herself and her students from people around the world.
