Q4. Global Interaction: Synchronous
A SYNCHRONOUS CONNECTION
We will explore synchronous communication with a virtual connection.
- You will be creating a virtual connection by participating in a video conference in live or real-time.
- Showcase a UN Project you learned about, a Passion Project, or Genius Hour connection with an author or expert, or a Global Collaboration Week activity assigned by your teacher.
- Make a copy of the Virtual Connection Planning Document to prepare, connect, and reflect on your experience.
PREPARE => CONNECT => REFLECT
- Talk with your teacher about how to submit/share this document. Use this Virtual Connection rubric to guide your work.
Your Reflection
Review your Goal Setting document from Quest 1.
- Have you improved in any of the areas you identified as important?
- How has your skillset as a Global Collaborator changed since Quest 1?
- How have you grown in your understanding and participation in asynchronous and synchronous communication?
Your teacher will direct you to reflect on this, either through a video, a reflection posted to a discussion board, an individual conference with your teacher, or in some other way that demonstrates what you have learned in this quest.
