The participants will learn from our experience working together with schools from across the globe on this new "Generation to Generation" project.
We have collaborated with various overseas schools for quite a few years; in the mean time, the "Interactive Family Tree project" has been part of my curriculum for more than two decades. This time, we "combined" both trends: with leadership and guidance of the ANU Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv, Israel, students from both countries engaged in this unique multigenerational global project. Partnering with an acclaimed museum affords a unique opportunity to expend students' research and communication skills.
The participants will be able to observe how we incorporated modern creative technologies to make this project successful: 360 degrees virtual platforms (CoSpaces and EurekaWorld), ThingLink, Google Earth Tour, Juxtapose, and many other tools, as well as online Genealogy programs "Ancestry.com" and "MyHeritage.com", as students actively engaged in researching their ancestry and history of the places their ancestors are from.
This would be our sixth ISTE presentation, and obviously, our main goal each year is to be able to share our successful, creative use of Technology on such a big stage, so other teachers and students around the world could also benefit from our experience.
