Our World

Page history last edited by Ms. Edwards 14 years, 8 months ago

Welcome to our  Communication Cloud[1], our Writing World[2], and our Internet Intergraph[3].

This is an opportunity to participate in a world community of learners to learn not only writing skills but also the citizenship skills of the 21st Century.  This project allows you to create the world you want to live in by participating in ways that you would like others to participate with you.  Our class educational network provides us this opportunity to practice and plan for when you may enter this online world.

What does that world look like to you?  What do you want the world to look like? Are you willing to accept the responsibility?

Think about it.  Talk about it.  Talk about it with family.  Click the link to your team's "Our World" template.

 

Respond to the questions with thoughtful ideas about this world community and how you think it should work and how you are willing to make it work well.  Click Save in the lower left corner when you are finished or need to stop.

 

Remember not to use personally identifying information.

Footnotes

  1. Communication Cloud: Somewhere in the world internet information is stored and available and viewable in a world-wide connection of participants willing to work together interactively to discuss, debate, deliberate, decide on issues that matters to each participant, thus giving voice to the world. What is said, editted, revised, and published -- all is there for the future to see and learn. What footprint, what message, what intergraph do you want to leave for the future?
  2. Writing World: our writing class has the opportunity to participate in the 'cloud'; through our 'Writers at Work'; sites, including this one. We have the chance to learn and share interactively to develop our skills as writers and our voice as world citizens. What voice do you want the future to hear from you?
  3. Internet Intergraph: The thing about the Internet is that although it seems invisible, a fleeting cloud visible when clicked, the words are still there, and may be accessible forever. Our internet words today are like the pictographs of ancient peoples: they left messages for others. Today, we work together to create communication, to connect colleagues, to make messages together for each other and the future. It's -inter, meaning reciprocal and mutual -- done together, and it's a -graph-- something written in a certain way. We are leaving intergraphs for the future. What message would you leave for the future?
