I just discovered a taxonomy that scaffolds the process of building local and global connections with learners. Here are some ideas of how to extend the thinking by Cindy Blackburn. Intra-Connection: - Who is in our classroom community? -How might we develop empathy and opportunities for students to connect with one another? -What might action look like within our classroom? Inter-Connection -What other units are happening in the school that we might connect to? -What potential school-wide issues or opportunities might we connect to? -What might action look like in single-subject classes (arts, PE, etc.)? -Are other local schools engaging in similar inquiries or action-driven projects? Managed Global: -What other organizations or businesses work towards the goals we have set for our unit? -How can we ground the learning experience in authentic problem solving in our local and global community? -Who are experts in this field? What does their action look like? Student to Student (teacher managed) -How might I use social media or other tools to connect with like-minded educators/others who are teaching similar concepts? -How else might I learn more about what other schools around the world are working on or share our inquiry with other educators? Student to Student (student-managed) -How can I support the development of students' social skills? -What platforms are available for students to use safely?
