Full Session Description (as long as you would like):
Teachers will leave Developing Effective Digital Cross-Cultural Exchanges understanding how to develop and implement successful digital cross-cultural exchanges through discussion and project examples that will enhance social, emotional, learning and cultural competency in the classroom.
Participants will be able to identify the elements of an effective digital exchange such as project development and maintenance, time management, utilizing effective technology and resources. Participants will understand the challenges, such as time differences, technology issues, task management, and essential question development, in implementing effective exchanges and will gain tools to help manage an exchange. Participants will gain deeper insight about the exchange experience through a question and answer session with past Know My World Exchange Participants.
Participants will use digital apps to explore questions, such as: “What are the elements of an effective digital exchange?” and “What kinds of projects support academic, social, emotional and cultural growth in the classroom?”
Participants will leave with practical steps to implement effective digital cross-cultural exchanges in their own classroom. Along with the presentation, guest speakers from various parts of the world will join us and share about their experience in creating exchanges in their classrooms.
