Reflection and discussion
Use the discussion tab to post reflections and comments on plenary sessions and other events during the workshop. We encourage you also to comment on each others reflections, including those in other teams, and foster meaningful conversations to support the curriculum development project challenge.

Project Challenge
Based on the topics discussed during the workshop, your **TEAM CHALLENGE** is to develop, pitch, refine and present an idea for a classroom collaboration. Use this template to collect and synthesize ideas. You may also choose to use the [|Understanding by Design] Unit Template

**Project Title: Multilingual ESL Exemplar Course in Moodle** **Participants level/age: Upper Elementary / Lower Middle School** **Curriculum focus: ESL Support** **Timeline: 6 Months** **Learning outcomes: Students will recognize the vocabulary on the Dolch list with 80% accuracy.**


 * 'Seven Steps to Flatten Your Classroom'** **- Essential objectives for global collaboration**

//Use this list as a template for brainstorming and creating your project//

**CONNECT** In what way will classrooms connect globally? (Tools and expectations

Using our international student and parent communities in both Korea and Japan, we will create a sample ESL self-study course in Moodle. This course will be freely available to anyone who would like to upload it into their own Moodle installations.

Moodle, Audacity

**COMMUNICATE** What are the modes of communication? Synchronous? Asynchronous? (Tools and expectations) We will communicate both synchronously through chat / Skype and asynchronously through wikis and discussion forums in Moodle itself.

**CITIZENSHIP** What do you and your students need to know to be reliable and responsible online learners? What do you need to prepare to complete a classroom collaboration?

First, Phil will compile the word list. Either students or Phil and Christian will enter the data into a format that can be used.

Students / Parents who will contribute will need to learn how to enter data in whatever format we need. Also, for the recording phase they will need to learn how to use Audacity (Free, Open source, and Cross-platform software for recording audio.)

**CONTRIBUTE & COLLABORATE** How will the classrooms work together? What are the parameters of the project? (Tools and expectations). How will contribution be encouraged and monitored (Tools and expectations)

**CHOICES** What choices will learners have to accommodate different learning styles and abilities?

Independent or Blended Learning Options Auditory and Visual Learners accommodated

**CREATE** What are the expected outcomes from the joint knowledge creation and sharing activities?

We will complete fully packaged and multimedia rich demo course. Our goal is that the course itself will be ready "out-of-the-box" for others to use in one of the more than 50,000 Moodle installs worldwide.

**CELEBRATION** How will the project and collaboration be celebrated and shared at its conclusion? Beer. Lots. Of. Beer. Preferably in Itaewon...
