Global collaboration can provide learning benefits. Lauren co-created an award-winning video with an international student. When collaborating globally, people learn about other cultures as well as themselves. Reducing ethnocentrism occurs through global education projects using web technologies. Designing learning that is agile, flexible, online, and collaborative can create a global community network for shared learning with people around the world rather than just learning about other places.

- What I am about to share with you is on the edge of learning in schools – and it shouldn’t be. Global collaboration – For the last 20 years I have been exploring how to connect people across the world for collaborative learning, and my PhD research examines online global collaborative educators Let me introduce you to three people who are doing just that – learning on the edge - My PhD research into global collaborative educators and pedagogical change. Let me share some examples showing that new pedagogical approaches support online global learning and collaboration Let me share the triggers that got me into this study
- Meet Lauren – high school – award winning video – presented at an international conference virtually Authentic project Design, leadership – bringing a team together
- Anne lives rural isolated – country cows – married to a dairy farmer Meet educator Anne Mirtschin – The world is her classroom – Her students have travelled from Australia to the middle east, and collaborated virtually with others from across the world Skype walk from WAB in Beijing – impromptu Chinese lesson Isolated part of the world – it doesn’t stop her from connecting with the world
- The power of global collaboration – how technology can impact the world and themselves Uganda, Canada, USA Meet Tracey – STEM specialist – her students collaborated with students in Uganda to design a unique light that could be 3D printed – solving the problem of no light to do study at night Engineering and humanity merge to make the world a brighter place
- OUTCOMES My research is showing that making global connections builds empathy between learners. - This means having the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Empathy is the heart and soul – those 3 stories show how empathy and trust can be built Like Lauren – building skills through global team leadership and TRUST Consider how we build empathy when in person – and how we can transfer those skills to an online environment Move from being a face to being a person you can work with
- As Anne our farmer says - Global collaborative educator, revealed, “I think when we collaborate globally we learn just as much about those other people as we do about ourselves and I think our own personal sense of being an Australian etc. is terribly important as well.”
- Another outcome of local to global learning is where you don’t just read about people but deal with people – we have the tools to go to the source and have a real conversation Craig Union wrote his PhD on how global projects positively reduce ethnocentricity Anne – takes rural, dairy farming students to the world – when kids study about the world it’s somewhere else – but when they learn with the world the diversity of thought and learning no longer depends on physical space
- Ettienne Wenger, educational theorist in communities of practice – One principle for developing global communities is to Open a dialogue between inside and outside perspectives - Like Tracey and One Million Lights – opening perspectives in order to impact others
- Connect learning Remove barriers Model best practices
- Provide opportunities for students to build empathy and online learning skills by collaborating WITH different groups
- Educators, our work has never been so important…..to affect positive social change I believe every student at every grade level should have global collaborative learning opportunities So that learning can be with the world not just about the world
