TECH TALK TUESDAYS: KIDS ETALKING TO KIDS (Australia Series)

Anne Mirtschin. Technology has enabled us to break down physical barriers and connect face-to-face with others around the world. Such connections can lead to global collaboration and mutual understanding. What could be more engaging than kids talking to kids across the world? What better way to encourage intercultural understanding, international-mindedness, and global awareness? The session will include examples of exciting collaborations which have enabled the ‘flattening of classroom walls’, allowing students to learn from and with people around the world. It will explore the ways learning can be enhanced through such interactions. It will highlight what we have learned, challenges and successes, and effective ways such connections can be established.
