International Virtual Collaborations in a Pre-Service Educational Technology Course
Abstract: In the fall 2012 semester, pre-service education students in an educational technology course at William Paterson University of New Jersey, USA collaborated with pre-service education students in a similar course at the University of Namibia. Since both courses required that students gain the understanding and knowledge to teach their students about digital citizenship, the authors/course instructors decided that the New Jersey and Namibian students should work together on a “CyberSmart Citizen” GlogTM. This presentation will report on the results of the project as well as looking at the impact of the project on the pre-service students’ cultural awareness.
