Linda McDermon advocates the access of global collaboration. McDermon's article Bring the World to Your Classroom projects the National Educational Technology Standard for Teachers when she encourages the idea of classrooms going global through interactive video conferencing. This in turn forces professional growth and leadership with the educator and student. The video conferences model digital-age work and learning. With video conferencing in place students and teachers are linked and can undergo development. Nothing is off limits from plays to lectures, students and teachers have an audience. It's an engagement with professional growth. All the participation is local or global and allows everyone to be creative.
Question #1 What benefits are found in global collaboration? It opens up a whole other world for the student. The educator as well as the student take charge in an innovative technological community allowing for growth in technological activity.
Question #2 What can video conferencing do for the individual student? It fuses the pupil to others in different parts of the world. The classroom is exposed and allows cultures to clash. it removes the boundaries for the student and teacher making anything possible in a virtual interactive world.
