Week #6 Find 5 Friday

1- Considering practitioner wisdom, philosophical and theoretical framing of global engagement and global citizenship, and connections to the fields of global and community development, four global service-learning practitioner-scholars discussed how the specific values and disruption of global service-learning undermine calls to“Help your Own Country”. They considered how this particular pedagogy and partnership practice at once disrupts national identities and engages the possibility of deep connection with anyone, everywhere.

2- "As teacher-educators we need to embrace practitioner (action) research of our own classroom practice. Such research serves to improve our practice, inform the teaching profession, and serve as modeling for future teachers to become practitioner researchers in support of their efforts to meet the learning needs of the students with whom they work as well as have a voice in policy decisions that impact their professional lives." A scholarly article written by Kimberly Hill Camplell. To read more, please visit

3- On "Digital Is", I found a great article to read about a teacher and her experience in the Tar River Writing Project Connected Learning MOOC, and how she implemented what she practiced in her classroom. For more, please go to 

4- A great short video to watch that I am going to share with my students to encourage them to help me implement Connected Learning in classroom, and to let them understand that they have the responsibility, like me, to be connected learners.

5- I strongly recommend this film"Connected Learning: Interest, Peer Culture, Academics" to watch. The film introduces the story of connected learning, the results of a six-year research effort supported by the MacArthur Foundation into how learning, education, and schooling could be re-imagined for a networked world.
