365 Days of Glass - Day 135
In our Pre-K class, the students have been working on a project to send to their partner class in Ethiopia.
The students have been using Glass to document their work so we can share it with the students in Ethiopia. My hope is that this will provide a nice preview of what they will receive once we finish the project. I also wanted to help students capture and share their exact experience of painting and creating the ebook so their partners would have a deeper understanding of what learning looks like in our classroom.
Since it’s almost impossible for the students at my school to visit their partners in Ethiopia and the time difference makes even Skyping hard, my hope is that Glass can provide the next-best thing. By recording work from the students’ perspectives, maybe their partners will feel like they are there, with them, in class.
In the video above you can watch a Pre-K student painting and explaining that she is making a “painting for Ethiopia” and she is “working on it right now.” I love how wearing Glass helps many students begin to take on a teacher or documentor role and they start to find their voices as they practice telling and sharing what they are working on for another audience.
I’m excited to hear about the students’ reactions to these clips in Ethiopia and see how the project progresses.
