Step 3: Think about the use of video chat tools or apps like Face Time, Google Meet, Zoom or Skype. There are many types of online conversations that can occur. Consider the following:

  • Experts: You could chat with a zoologist to learn about an endangered species; talk to a climate scientist about climate change; or explore a topic in history by connecting with a museum curator.
  • Colleague (Peer): Colleagues are people who team up to solve problems, research topics, or create presentations. They can be people you know or even students from around the world.
  • Classroom to Classroom: Classroom to classroom connections include opportunities for speaking or working with students in another classroom. For example, you may do a Mystery Skype, or have video pen pals OR your class may participate in an online project with another class.
  • Careers: Talking to engineers, firefighters, nurses, welders, etc. to find out about their real-life experiences in their jobs and what is required of them will help you explore different careers.
  • Culture: Culture is exploring diversity by communicating across geographic boundaries to explore the values and beliefs of an individual or group.

Step 4. With the world as your global playground, who might you connect with and why?  Add your reflections to your notes document.
