Activities Structure: Relating Weather to Global Classrooms Global Classrooms: Global classrooms are activities where two or more classrooms study the same topic together. Real time chat environments and video conferencing support this type of activity quite well. Global classrooms differ from keypals in that global classroom activities are most often accomplished through group-to-group communication rather than individual-to-individual communication. This makes the management of global classroom activities less taxing for the instructor. I would incorporate Global Classrooms into my classroom by having my students communicate through email or skype with another classroom from a different region of the world or country. During this communication both classes with be learning about typical weather in their region. The students will be placed in groups and they will be given the opportunity to ask the students from the other classroom questions about typical weather in their area. The students may learn that weather in their area may be completely different in another region of the world. Each day the students will also track precipitation, temperature, clouds, and weather and they will compare their data with the other classroom. Then they would compare and contrast the weather from the different areas and predict what season is currently in that area based on their data analysis. This will promote global communication skills and with also enhance their knowledge of weather events around the world.
