Q4. Global Interaction: Introduction

Introduction

You have reviewed many of the skills needed to be a successful Global Collaborator, including effective communication skills, how to consider cultural differences when collaborating, and skills to present when using a webcam or recording video.

Now we will put those skills into practice with a virtual collaboration in a virtual connection or video conference. In this Quest, your goal is to take what you have learned and participate in a synchronous connection to learn more about a global problem, issue, or concern in real time. You will experience the difference between asynchronous (for example your Flipgrid in Quest 3) and synchronous video (by participating in a video conference in live time). Your teacher will share with you the who, what, when, where, and why of your connection experiences.

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.
