Apply effective group process skills.
Using global connection lessons utilize forums for groups.
A class in India was going to connect with our school to
learn different culturally specific games. Our school was going to create
videos and discussion forums in Moodle. Her school would then log into our
Moodle to upload their own videos and create forums. She did not know who to
use Moodle. On November 8, 2010, at 8:30 AM, I video conference via Skype with
Sudha Penu from India which was 7:30 PM for her. Using Skype, I was able to
“share” my screen with her. I logged in to the Moodle site, and showed her
specifically how to edit, upload, and other basic functions of Moodle. I also
shared my Moodle manual that I use with teachers.
Our two schools utilized forums for discussions on different
standard physical education games utilized in the US compared to India. The
students would discuss with each other via the Moodle Forum.
The school from India shared sports such as Shatranj
(chess), Kabaddi/Chedugudu, and Tokudu Billa/Kith-Kith. Our students shared about
hopscotch, wrestling, volleyball, cup-stacking, horseshoes, and basketball. The
students at our school loved creating the videos that accompanied each forum
post. After the students created their videos, the teacher would post the video
to a new forum, and then the students from our school and the school in India
would comment back and forth to each other. Our students were so excited to
share in these lessons.
