When participating in the Fulbright Global Education class, I had an opportunity to work with a teacher in Indiana. We wanted students to see the differences between their town and ours. Using Google Earth, the students made assumptions about student's lives in their town. They also came up with a list of questions to ask their peers. Using FlipGrid, my students were able to video their questions to their peers in Indiana. The teacher I worked with, and myself, were able to monitor the videos before hand and make sure that everyone was on their best behavior! Students in Indiana were then able to respond to their peers and answer questions, as well as ask their own questions. This was a fun activity that both classes seemed to really enjoy doing. The students really enjoyed seeing and communicating with each other. I am hoping to extend this activity to include students in Finland as well.
