Hi!

My name is Christina Mesk and I am 5th Grade Special Education Teacher in Brooklyn, NY.  My students are between the ages of 9-11 years old.  Right now, I have 8 students in my class.  We are a small class because my students require more support than their General Education peers.  Their disability classifications include Learning Disabilities, Speech and Language Impairments and Intellectual Disabilities.  However, we have a classroom culture that celebrates curiosity, risk-taking, growth mindset and the beauty of mistakes.  I take a strength-based approach to education and I truly believe that #allchildrencan.  I have a lot of experience in implementing virtual exchange in my classroom.

Monday, October 16th, is our 25th day of learning together.   As a result of our study of Hispanic Heritage month, I have learned that my students really want to learn about and connect with students in other countries so that they can compare and contrast school experiences around the world.  The students saw some of my photos from my International Field Experience with Fulbright in Colombia and they had so many questions about the schools I visited and the children I met.   I think they would be very empowered by leading their own inquiry about school around the world and I think it would be great to do this through a partnership with another classroom either here in the US or in Europe.   This would be a great way to introduce SDG #4: Quality of Education to our students.

For an anticipated timeline, I think it would be beneficial to take November and December to plan this project and to begin this virtual exchange partnership in January.

I know that there are not a lot of primary teachers in the group, so I would be open to pairing with a classroom of older students. I imagine we could then identify those older students as virtual big brothers and big sisters.

If you are interested in joining me on this project you can email me at cmesk82@gmail.com

Thanks for listening!
Christina

Hi!

I teach English Language Arts in Plainfield, IL USA. I have five classes of 22-29 eighth graders (13-14 year old students) in each class.

I'm open for any/all project ideas!

Last year I created global collaborations through TED with students in Moldova, Portugal, and Turkiye. The students and I loved the experiences. We were able to send care packages, communicate between padlet and flip--and one of our classes were able to have a Zoom call. It was amazing.

In addition to other potential projects, I'm interested in setting up five global collaborations this year with students globally. With more time than we had last year, I am looking to work with teachers who can help brainstorm making better connections and learning more about the cultures though history/music/art/literature/pop culture/photography.

This is what we did last year: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PiZvZVwHaUead7xr0W_Y8-x35WFPQom3gF_MkF9XtPI/edit

Let me know if you are interested! JGruca@psd202.org

Hello all!
I work in a mid-sized high school in Princeton, New Jersey, USA. I would be interested in collaborating on discussions about AI/ ChapGBT among groups of students (both for positive and negative uses) and/or Peace Projects.

I oversee a large group of students that tutor that have participated in multiple international collaborations via zoom.

I also oversee a service-learning and community service group that creates peace projects for our local community (and a Peace Fair) and would love to collaborate with other students internationally.

Looking forward to this school year!

I teach middle school history in Vermont. My first experience with TED was last year and it was so transformative for me and an incredible opportunity for my students. I'd like to connect with other classrooms and have the kids build connections with other middle school students--our students are living in a time where distance does not have to be a barrier for opportunities. My students come from rural community and most have never see the US outside of Vermont and most do not see travel and world connections as a possibility. Help me change their minds!

Hello Everyone! I teach elementary music grades K-5 (ages 5-11) in the United States. I'd like to connect each of my grades with another class outside the US, for example my third grade students would connect with another 3rd grade class outside in your country.

I'm envisioning a cultural exchange in which we connect our students and exchange postcards, dialogue, videos, music, and whatever else we can think of with the ultimate goal of fostering conversation, understanding, and connection across the globe.

Let me know if you're interested!

Hello everyone!
I teach Math and Physics at the high school science school and would love to be able to work on a project for high school science students dealing with sustainability and 2030 agenda goals, environment and monitoring with Arduino sensors, and web programming and science communication. I am interested in technologies in STEM used in an inclusive way and to motivate students between the ages of 16 and 18 as well as to counter the gender GAP in STEM. I am working on a STEAM project that starting from Design Thinking seeks to promote students' convlection in using Math and Physics for environmental advocacy and sustainable resources.

I all! I'm Mariapia Bianchi (Mari) from TED program 2021, I'd like to form a group to work on "teaching with movies" creating materials, activities and sharing ideas to watch and analyze with students a movie   every month or every two months from the point of view of stimulating discussions on several topics as well as focusing on grammar and vocabulary. Students would be involved both as creators and users of the digital tools used to work on the film (ie. glossaries, questionnaires, word searches, video discussions, digital collection of essays or reviews as so on). Teachers will suggest proposals to make students also actively participate in the choice of the film or eventually be involved in students' online meetings or taking part in online events with experts. If you are interested and want to make suggestions on how to work on it please write to: mariapiabianchi846@gmail.com

Dear TED Fellows
I’m eager to rejoin this amazing group of educators after a participating in 2011-2014 as a elementary grade school teacher and subsequent WFD Coordinator of IT and PD skills.
I’m now developing ELearning stackable credentials for The Project Management Institute along with managing a privacy/security/auditing corporate training programme at the L&D Director.
I would love to participate and partner with you to ensure global academic institutions understand the value of teaching digital-literacy skills especially in INFOSEC. You’ve heard about the IT skills gap now let’s partner to help build a bridge between academia and corporate institutions.
Cheers
