Abstract | With a belief in the need for a reform in education that prepares students for life, work, and citizenship in a globalized economy, leaders were determined to connect students across the district, state, country, and globe in global collaborative STEM projects. These projects were aligned to the standards but also afforded students the opportunity to increase the skills necessary to be successful in a global economy. The Partnership for 21st Century Learning, a group of leading business and educational organizations and policy makers, defined these skills as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity; life and career skills; information, media, and technology skills; and the understanding of key subjects and 21st-century themes--which includes global awareness and the ability to collaborate with others who have diverse perspectives. The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE 2016) has written seven standards for students about the use of technology in education. One of these standards states that students need to use technology to become a "global collaborator," which includes using digital tools to collaborate with others both locally and globally. Global collaboration projects can teach not only content but also communication, collaboration, digital citizenship, and research and information fluency (ISTE 2016). This article describes a global STEM project between a fourth-grade class in Texas and a fourth-grade class in Australia. The big idea of the unit was "Understanding forces help us to predict the world around us." This project lasted about two weeks and it did not cost anything. (ERIC). |
