Q4. Global Interaction: Introduction

Introduction

You’ve already learned a bunch of cool skills that real-world global collaborators use—like how to talk clearly, respect cultural differences, and look confident on camera.

Now it’s time to put those skills into action! In this Quest, you’ll join a live video chat or virtual meetup to connect with others and explore a real global issue. You’ll see the difference between sending a video (asynchronous) and talking in real-time (synchronous). Get ready—your teacher will fill you in on who you’re meeting, what you’ll be doing, and why it’s such an important experience. Let’s connect with the world and make it count!

learning objectives

I can:

• Use synchronous communication to connect to a classroom, colleague/peer, career, or expert.
• Use appropriate behavior in a virtual learning experience. 
• Communicate cultural sensitivity in a virtual environment, including respect and empathy.
• Reflect on my growth as a global collaborator.
