In this webinar, I learned about different resources I can use in my classroom so that my students/class are collaborating with others around the world. The speaker talked about Belouga, Skype, different Google communities, and many more. One cool resource he mentioned was Global Read Aloud. This would be great to use in my future classroom because you can tune in, to a classroom in a different country, and listen to their read aloud for the day. That would just be so fun to do and for my students to listen in to a classroom somewhere else in the world. Belouga would also be really great to use because students are already on social medias, and this is a type of social media but for learning. Students create their own profile, upload their work, and then connect with other students around the world. Students can get paired up with other students, and the teachers can constantly be monitoring. Students can discuss and learn from someone else in a different class. Skype would be really cool to learn because then students can talk virtually face to face with other classrooms. This webinar gave me a lot of helpful resources to use in my future classroom.
