Abstract: The purpose of this session is to share a model for creating an ongoing global collaboration that involves digital age learning. The presenters will demonstrate a model using 21st. Century technology that requires higher education students to communicate and collaborate across cultural and international boundaries. Using this model for global collaboration, students communicate weekly with teacher candidates from another country, employing various interactive technologies. Those tools include email, wikis, social media, Voice Thread, Google Docs and Skype. Subsequently they respond to electronic discussion board prompts in their online course by writing an analysis of the similarities and differences between the educational systems in Australia and the United States including diversity, assessments, educational issues, instructional approaches and classroom management.

No presider for this session.
