Global Collaboration Project--Week 2

EPals Global Collaboration Project

During week two, we will accomplish the following:

1.     Decide your group: decide who’s going to be in your group and submit your group member’s name to me.

2.     Decide your project: the fastest way to get connected would be to join an existing project but if your group would like to create your own project, please come and see me. 

3.     As a group, write an introduction of your group to initiate a contact with your project (class abroad).  Some information to include in the introduction can be: number of students, majors, interests, school name, method of collaboration such as e-mail, video conferencing, etc., how many times you’d like to correspond with them, individually or as a group, and so on.  The more detailed your introduction, the more they can see if both of you would be a good fit for each other.

4.     Once you join a project, your group will have some idea as to what to collaborate with your classroom abroad.   Discuss ideas and topics to collaborate each week and submit them to me by the end of second week.  You can even delegate as to who will initiate the contacts and for which topics. You guys decide as a group!

 For example: Cultural Exchange (This is just a sample!)

Week 2: Food
Week 3: Food (popular fusion style)
Week 4: K-Pop
Week 5: Fashion
Week 6: University life in Korea
Week 7: Social norms
Week 8: North Korea
Week 9: Dating in Korea
Week 10: Movies
Week 11: Cars
Week 12: Smart phone or Apps
Week 13: Pollution
Week 14: Social Pressures or peer pressures university students face
Week 15: Presentation Day!

This Global Collaboration project will be a learning experience for both you and I but I think it will be worth it in the end. Hang in there and if we face any obstacles, let’s try to problem solve together!  I’m hoping to learn more about this project as well as trying to incorporate technology into our classrooms so that learning can be fun and exciting!

Good luck you guys!
