Problem: Giving students a way to write for an authentic audience and connect with other cultures.
Using The Humans of New York by Brandon Stanton, we will showcase The Humans of Project - a global student writing project.
This project will use blended learning Hyperdoc as the learning experience and tools such as Book Creator, Adobe Spark and Flipgrid to connect students round the globe.
A successful session will give teachers the knowledge and understanding to do this project with their students and time to experience it for themselves.
15 minutes: Using a hyperdoc - teachers will explore Humans of New York - explore student examples of this project. Teaches will find and share their favorite examples.
10 minutes: After being inspired by examples, teachers will learn the background of an effective hyperdoc and why this was chosen for this project.
20 minutes: We will look at Adobe Spark, Book Creator and Flipgrid as example tools that will help students learn from each other on a global stage and begin writing our own stories inside of Book Creator. We will also use Adobe Spark to create images for our projects.
45 minutes: Finally teachers have time to complete part their Humans of ISTE project - sign- up for the student project and ask any questions that will allow them to leave with the tools they need to successfully take part in this exciting collaboration.
This project has already been done by over 200 teachers and the exciting connections students be the basis of the exact practice. We will unpack how effective their collaborative efforts were and how important an authentic audience was for both their motivation and success.
