Global+Learning+Communities

Module 6 discussion forum:

I admit I haven't had a lot of experience as part of a global learning community. After exploring the ones suggested in this forum I can definitely see the benefits of joining a global learning community. As teachers it is important for us to pursue every avenue to provied learning opportunities for our students. I learned about how I could use these learning communities to pursue collaboration projects and other learning/teaching ideas to use in my classroom. The most valuable thing I experienced was a link to Free Federal Resources For Educational Excellence. It was interesting to see all of the different opportunities listed there to enhance classroom learning. To apply online commmunities to my classroom will be somewhat of a challenge. I will need to explore them in more detail to choose one that will pertain to Preschool students. After doing that, it will hopefully allow me to join a collaborative learning project of some kind. It will be interesting to see what's out there and available for Preschool Education.
