Students in a classroom will collaborate globally on an 8-step project to transform learning. The 8 steps are: 1) Connect, 2) Communicate, 3) Cultivate Citizenship, 4) Contribute and Collaborate, 5) Empower Choice, 6) Create Things that Matter, 7) Celebrate, and 8) Reinvent and Level Up. The secret to each step is provided, such as connecting yourself first before connecting students, using frameworks for discussion, ensuring all students contribute, allowing student choice of topics, engaging students through meaningful projects, and celebrating accomplishments.

30. “…you can’t just drop new innovations into a
classroom and hope that the instructor will
invent effective ways to use them. To fully
utilize a new teaching technology, you often
need to invent new teaching practices as well.”
John Seely Brown, Visiting Scholar,
University of Southern California

Lurkers &
Nonresponders
Some students think
they can just lurk and
because it "counts" on
social media, that it
counts in the classroom.
Language Disconnects
Many have the language
of the project as a
second language. Just
disclose the use of
translators, never
“pretend" to be native if
you're not.)
Cultural taboos and
disconnects
Be on the watch for
disconnects.
Poor technopersonal
skills
Some mistake
technology mistakes for
intentional offenses.
Always give the others
the benefit of the doubt.
Cultural Differences
Plagiarism and copyright
can look different.
Others think it is a social
network
Time Zones
The greater the time
divide, the better you
must be at asynchronous
communications.
