Weaving Old With New is a Global Learning Project (GLP) to be used for educational purposes only within a classroom or in a homework setting. Sharing student work and making comments on each other's work are meant to allow students to learn from each other, share what they have accomplished and gain empathy for the experience of people who emigrate. Respectful participation and contribution are crucial to ensuring the success of these goals. Failure to comply will result in removal of participation in the project.
By joining this project, you agree to adhere to the following Trust and Monitor Policy:
Students will use their first names onlywhile participating to ensure protection of their privacy. They will not include any other personal information.
Students will practice digital citizenship. They will refrain from using profanity, inappropriate comments, and comments that are off topic to the discussions purpose.
Students will abide by copyright laws and cite their sources used for research, if research is applicable to their contribution. An example is found here, note the source is Encyclopedia Britannica.
Students will conduct themselves with respect toward teachers, students, and the people they interview. Make sure to thank those who help you with this project.
Students and teachers will abide by their district’s technology and internet acceptable use policy.
Teachers will review student work before it is shared on Padlet. Have students submit their work to you first, then they may post on Padlet.
Teachers will monitor posts made on Padlet. Though students may complete some requirements at home, it is encouraged that they post on Padlet in the classroom so that teachers may monitor them closely.
Student work and comments will be removed from the project if found to be in violation of this Trust and Monitor Policy. Teachers can email the author with questions or concerns.
