Let's consider about global connections as a technology and learning tools, and what skills that students need based upon Dr. Alan November’s video lectures as well as possible changes that you as a teacher may need to make.
Today, students are not expecting to receive learning from teachers anymore in and out of schools. They are excited to collaboratively learn between peers and help each other by something that they create. First of all, they need to develop their critical thinking and analyzing skills to find problems that they want/should solve. Next, they should improve their problem-solving/researching/ communication/ (critical thinking) skills to gather information that they need to solve the problems. By communicating with the other people, they also can find a new way to promote their solutions. They can spread their learning world via internet and can connect with the world in their learning processes. Technology can support their new learning possibilities.

His last phrased impressed me, “teachers are more important than ever. This is a changing in the culture, a change in the iconology of learning. This not about adding technology, it’s a fundamental shift in relationships and roles and the feeling of empowerment that students have when they create a legacy”. Teachers need to transfer classrooms into new learning environment with technologies. As he said, “students need to work harder in the classrooms than teachers do”. For supporting students to create a “legacy” in their education, I would need to consider well about how I can transfer ownership in the classrooms to students. I may be able to conduct flipped learning for proving more time to discuss between students based on their skills and knowledge. Also, I shouldn’t give specific homework from drill books every day. For increasing their creativities and problem-solving skills, I may give them choices to choose their own assignment based on their interests, not only during a long holiday but the daily school days. For this way, students need to set a purpose and goal to conduct their homework, and they create something following their own purpose. It is associated with independent and autonomy leaning style.
Myths and Opportunities: Technology in the Classroom by Alan November
We need to encourage children to learn so that they can develop their required skills to success in 21st century and create the global. Children will lead and create the global based on their skills. It takes time to change curricula that children can build their own collaboration, responsibilities, leadership, and research skills. However, teachers need to design the curricula and integrate technologies into classrooms for them to promote these skills. Technology makes kids smarter depending on how teachers integrate the technologies into their classes. I would put a researching time in each subject, and students will create their own research results on wiki and share with the others. Students can connect with the global and peers via technologies.
