World Connections - Digital Literacies

Throughout the course of the year, we've pegged communities we had an opportunity to connect with.

What an exciting year for our grade two students. Our connections were either in the form of mystery skype/hangout, blog e-pals, virtual field trips, being a virtual audience for readers theatre, Art Exchange project,  and  our Math Collaboration projects.

I had the absolute pleasure to watch my students delve into the use of technology and master apps such as google earth, kidblog, google docs/forms and many more. It was great to see this development and growth, but more importantly my students grew into great digital citizens who learned how to use technology to better themselves and their learning. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing comments from my students comparing themselves to others we were connecting with. The common theme was always how similar we all are regardless of where we are from or our backgrounds. I am so proud of my students, they truly embody the idea of being an Ethical Citizen.
