International teaching

International teachers where hard to find blogs on but the ones I found were very cool. Mr. Fisher’s class at Joseph H. Kerr School in Snow Lake, Manitoba is one of the most high tech 7/8 grade class I have ever heard of. His approach for his class is to let them interact globally with the whole world. He has the class do blogs, podcast, and shoot videos so they can be more familiar with the material. They believe that class work and homework hours spent only helps students retain so much but being able to discuss the information online to peers helps the students understand it even more. Also in class he has the students bring in different perspectives from their own on the issues at hand. By doing so helps them consider other people’s thoughts and opinions on different issues.http://mr-fisher.edublogs.org/
