What makes you- -you?" In the words of Dr. Suess, "Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you." What makes you special? Students from all over the world will share their "sparks" or qualities they are proud of within themselves. Students will see examples from all over the world and build intercultural awareness and respect for each other!

Project/event directions for participation:

Find creative or simple ways to elicit from students, staff, families etc. what makes them special! Post a video, photo, thought etc. on the Padlet link. Then check back to review and share with your students how people's sparks are similar and different throughout the world. Great discussion starting point for valuing people's individual strengths and building appreciation for others and our own talents!

Research Doctorate: Online global collaborative educators and pedagogical change

URL to project/event starting point:

Survey online here: https://goo.gl/llloqf and also it can be found here: http://bit.ly/1UTTOTV

Project/event description:

Julie Lindsay is undertaking this research project as part of a Doctor of Education degree through the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. The purpose of this research is to document and analyse the experiences of K-12 educators who are implementing online global collaboration and to describe pedagogical approaches that may be influencing pedagogical change. Online global collaboration broadly refers to educators using digital technologies to connect students with others beyond their immediate learning environment for collaborative outcomes. Online technologies provide new ways of connecting and collaborating with others and it is educators’ beliefs about and practices with the use of educational technology that will be explored to analyse how these influence their engagement with online global collaboration.

Project/event directions for participation:

Educators who teach K-12 levels from across the world who are implementing online global collaboration are invited to complete this online survey. Access one of the URLs as a starting point - this will lead you to the online survey. Completion of this survey will take approximately 30-40 minutes (if all parts are completed). The survey is in three parts: - Part A: Demographic information - Part B: Online learning and online global collaboration information - Part C: Interest in participating in further research and further questions for 'Phase 2: Case Study' eligibility (optional)
