Global Collaborations, while I would like this to be the capstone project of TED, I understand this may not be possible due to school constraints. TED will be supportive of each participant.

Dr. Oldham will provide a slide presentation about global collaborations. 

Guest presenters from previous TED cohorts will lead breakout sessions and talk about how they have led their classes in global collaborations and offer ideas.

In your groups, start thinking about a Global Collaboration Plan and who would make a great collaboration partner(s). There are so many choices!!!

1. Global Groups must have at least ONE European and ONE American School.

The Global Collaborations will be ongoing throughout TED 2024. 

Week 4 Expectations will be discussed.

1. Pick 3-5 tech tools that you really like and be ready to share.

TED participants will be placed in groups of 4 where they will discuss their favorite tech tools and how they can be implemented in the classroom.

Groups will create a 5-7 minute Google Slide presentation of their favorite tech tools. NOTE: GROUPS CANNOT GO OVER TIME. I will be very strict on the 7 minute maximum.

Each group can choose 1 speaker, 2 speakers, or everyone can speak...it is your choice.

Groups will present to the TED cohort as a whole about their favorite tech tools.

Week 5 Expectations will be discussed.

1. Global Collaboration update

2. Watch the video on Socratic Discussions

Dr. Oldham will share a presentation on Socratic Smackdowns and how they can be implemented in the classrooms.

Donna Schrum (TED 2023) will present over the Harkness Method.

TED participants will be discussing the topic, "Should cell phones be allowed in schools?" This will be the guiding question.

TED participants will be placed in breakout groups where they will practice a technique called a Triad where small groups practice using the socratic smackdown tools in a small setting before coming together in a large group.

TED participants will come together as a whole group and participate in a Socratic Smackdown just like a class would participate in.

Debrief afterwards and discuss what positives and questions you still have about the session.

Week 6 Expectations will be discussed.

• TRIAD WEEK: TED Participants will pick 4-6 topics of discussion and who will lead them.
