UniCollaboration plenary session: teaching across cultures, reaching across generations – virtual exchange and teacher education
When Robert O’Dowd asked me to do this talk, these are the three things I told him I would do, and here they are. I want to talk about how telecollaboration and virtual exchange has offered us this really creative space to animate as educators over the last 20 or 30 years. Because the focus is on teacher education and because over the last ten years my focus has been on teacher education, I want to talk about some of the key takeaways that we can have and say that these are the things that make good practice in virtual exchanges. Finally, I will bring along a new project that I am working on that I hope will tie together some of the themes that we are looking forward to in the future. Having been here for the last two and a half days, I realise many of you are thinking about the same types of themes.
