In a session on ‘Engaging the Digital Generation’, Vicki Davis brought up a really interesting point about global connections that I hadn’t thought about.
And it’s not some big conceptual thing and it’s not some little touchy-feely thing; it’s a practical thing.
A practical thing with rather profound implications:
Logistics.
A true real-time global classroom can’t expect to work on a North American school-day schedule.
You want your kids to understand what ‘global’ means?
Have them participate in a real-time session with students in Australia… during the Australian kids’ regular school day.
