Hello, I'm looking for any other class that may want to join a "identity" project. I will be getting my class (in groups of 4 or so) to choose a symbol.. person, place, or thing, that best represents what it means to be who they are where they are..(ex. here in quebec canada they may choose carnival, cabin de sucre, canadian or quebec charter, catholic church, our football team) Whatever the group decides.. they will create a video of the symbol, and on the video explain what it is, its significance, and why the group chose it. These videos can be uploaded onto a shared "multiply" account.. private to those listed in the group. kids will be able to see what others have posted, as well be able to post audio/video responses to the videos.(teachers can be administrators) Students may join our online TIGed classroom as a way to get to know each other a little better. I believe students will want to do a great job, and will be proud of their work as it will be a way of expressing what it means to them to be who they are where they are to other teens of different parts of the world. Please contact me ASAP as we've begun the project..
Students are constantly being bombarded with IT in their lives. They come to school as digital natives and we are their immigrants. We need to teach and learn using these tools, as they are using them...
