How Will We Keep Our Connections Alive? • Will I keep in touch with FCP expert advisors from other institutions? • Is there a need to keep in touch? • It’s certainly a question of ATTITUDE • What skills should students develop: global collaboration or global networking? • Are students encouraged to network in school? • Should they be expected to do the same online? • Students can network and socialize at their own discretion in real life • Provide opportunities to do so during online collaborative projects? • Ning for FCP Matthew
Using your Ning and Global Collaboration • Your Ning • What is it? • How to use it • My Experience with Global Collaboration • What did I learn? • What do I think can be improved • My future with Global Collaboration Ashley
My Experience in a Global Collaborative • Global Collaborative as an Expert Advisor • The necessity for an advisor leading their team • The importance of collaboration between students and other expert advisors • Curriculum Comparison through Global Collaborative • Do we need to have international collaboration for curriculum development? • Student interest on global collaboration Sean
The Future Of Global Collaboration • Many more classes and countries participating no matter the subject. • Opportunities for greater topic selection for students. • Enhanced communication and direction. • Students working together at once using tools such as LIVE. • Secondary student outcomes such as culture, geography and learning styles taught. • Projects linked to countries where students are affected by a specific topic in order to enhance learning and see others view points.

MY EXPERIENCE AS AN EXPERT ADVISOR IN A GLOBAL CLASSROOM Very rewarding when sharing knowledge, guiding students, helping them out and seeing progress and final results. + Communication, cooperation among expert advisors must be improved. - + Nadya Fantastic way to get approached to this form of collaboration/learning as a pre-service teacher. This encourage me to implement learning in a global classroom in my future teaching career.
