"Assessing the Impact of Global Collaboration" - March #globalclassroom chats

March 3, 2012 by Michael Graffin | 5 Comments

This month’s topic comes to us courtesy of @iEARNUSA, and takes the #globalclassroom chats into new territory: assessment.

As teachers involved in global collaboration, we are in a unique position to witness the impact of global collaboration and exchanges on our students. Yet, can this impact be measured?

How can we assess and communicate the effects and benefits of global collaboration with our students’ parents and administrators?

Do we need to rely on anecdotal evidence, or is there a better way to assess the impact of our global connections on teaching and learning in our classrooms?

This promises to be an interesting discussion, and we hope you can join us!
