Netherlands+Collaborations

This page is for projects our Dutch friends will conduct with our Middle School social studies and English classes.

=****World Village Goals and Questions - Mrs. Lau**ghlin**=


 * Classroom Goals**


 * 1) Learn how to see from another perspective, rather than molding something to fit within their own perspective
 * 2) Feel a deep sense of connection with, and respect and compassion for, a global community
 * 3) Communicate emotion and to perceive and empathize with what others are feeling


 * Questions**


 * 1) What initial idea about Holland and Dutch people was completely changed by your interaction with these students?
 * 2) What did you learn about your own place in the world outside Olney? What did you learn about your culture from someone else’s perspective that surprised you?
 * 3) On an emotional level, what do you have in common with these students?
 * 4) Who is the "other" as same, similar, different, unique (constantly changing)?

Learn to better integrate technology into my classroom; become more savvy about how our students perceive and use technology; feel comfortable in the “stretch zone” and understand that challenge and uncertainty can spark personal growth
