The Future of Learning

You may already be aware that our class blog can be read by a global audience! In fact, our blog contains links to the blogs of other year nine English classes from other countries under the heading of ‘global collaboration’. What does global collaboration mean to you? Why do you think it is important? In your blog post today you could explore this concept further. Consider what you might learn through writing for a global audience, as well as through reading the blogs of other members of the global online community. What interests you about this process? Christian Long wrote that ‘Collaboration ain’t about holding hands. It’s about going cool places fast.’ So what can you gain from this process of global collaboration? Friends and ‘cool places’ are only a ‘click’ away. So why not take the time this week to read the blogs of some of the students from Spain, or
Germany, or wherever your interest takes you. You could even write them a comment if you like.
