I decided to think of a lesson based on the NJCCCS 8.1 Educational Technology. C. Communication and Collaboration and environments support the learning process and foster collaboration in solving local or global issues and problems. The CPI is 8.1.8 C1 (8th grade), participate in an online learning community with learners from other countries to understand their perspectives and global problems or issues, propose possible solutions.
What I understand this to mean is that this standard wants students to be able to talk with other students around the world on specific subjects. This will help kids understand different perspectives that people have around the word and therefore ready them for a global workplace.
As I said in an earlier blog, I think it would be great if we can have an online interaction between two music classes around the world. I would have the students talk about typical rhythms and melody found in there culture and perform them for each other. Also I would like the students to get insight into how the music came to be. Music can be a great historic indicator of a culture because the musicians are influenced by the society the live in. Politics, economics, geography, these things help shape an artist's work.
