ECI 524 Theory and Research in Global Learning
- This course introduced me to the web 2.0 tool VoiceThread. I created an account, learned how to add comments using the recorder, and how to string together photos. In my classroom, I have incorporated VoiceThread by taking pictures of the students following the school rules and explaining how/why they were doing the right thing. I also uploaded my students paintings of their "perfect world" and had them record a sentence with their paintings explaining it.

- This course also gave me the opportunity to create a movie using Windows Live Movie Maker. This was my first experience using any type of movie making tool. I was asked to identify a person that represents or reflects aspects of Appiah's notion of cosmopolitanism. My movie is a narrated biography that highlights the cosmopolitan characteristics of their life experiences using pictures she had taken from travels around the world. In the classroom, I used my knowledge of this web 2.0 tool to create an end of year slide show of all the activities our class experienced!
