For Global Learning Construct A, collaborative instructions, I selected Wimba Collaboration Suite for k-12 Schools. This program allows teachers, students, parents, and administrators to work together and enhance the learning environment through better collaboration and interaction. This program can be used for enhancing online and traditional classes by adding communication and multimedia tools to the class. Using this program, students are able to download coursework, work in groups, discuss topics through chat rooms, and submit assignments. This program is great for teachers as well. It allows us to hold virtual office hours, which means students are more easily able to contact us and parent conferences can be done over the internet. It also allows us to address all of the different learning styles, and allows us to give special education students the extra support they need. For administrators, this program allows for virtual meetings, and will let them "sit in" on parent teacher conferences when neccessary. This would be a great tool for many classrooms. The only drawback is that an internet connection and computer are needed. Since most classrooms do not have a computer for every student, it might be difficult to implement. Here is the link to thier informational site: http://www.wimba.com/solutions/k-12/collaboration_suite_for_k_12/ For construct B, digital identities, I selected Google Blogger. This web 2.0 technology allows users to create an online personality using a screen name, avatar, and text. After creating a screen name and selecting an optional avatar, the user can then write about their ideas, opinions, and experiences for others to view. Each user can limit who sees their blog to certain individuals or make it public for everybody to see, its totally customizable. This can be a great educational tool as well. It can allow teachers and students in an online class to communicate and hold discussions. It can also be used to for group assignments in a traditional classroom allowing team members to collaborate, share ideas, hold discussions, or tell stories. The possibilites are nearly endless. One very important aspect of this application are the privacy options. Students, especially those in high school or younger, should not have their information available to the public. This application allows for the user to make all posts private and only allow approved individuals to see what is posted. This will help keep our children anonymus and safe.
