As a student at Vally I have recently experienced global collaboration. Our project we just finished was talking to kids around the world about a topic and doing a report.For example mine was globalization and outsourcing--current issues/news. I had the chance of talking to these students and I got a feel for their views on the topic. It took about a week and half to complete the project but it was well worth the time. Is wasn't always easy though, there were students that didn't contribute as much, but there were students that had a ton to say.
I think that most people should experience this before they leave high school and go out into the real world because it teaches you how to communicate with others effectively. By having this experience I feel it has put me one step in front of everyone. It can be hard at first trying to do this but then it comes easily. Schools middle school and above should have to complete a global collaboration. They will most likely like the process.
There are many advantages in having this collaboration. It provides many opportunities and later in life when you go to jobs. Many employers see that as a separator in candidates. I'm glad that i have this chance and I will use it to my best ability.
