Another very useful tool I became familiar with over the year was Windows Movie Maker. Our class was assigned to make multiple videos and without Windows Movie Maker, I would not be able to edit the videos I had to turn in. By using this video editor, I won third place in my section of the Flat Classroom Project. It helped make the point of my whole video clear, and because I learned so much about it this year I will have more experience working with it to improve my projects in the future

In this class I got to experience many situations that will be helpful to me in the future by teaching me how it is to work with a team. One experience that was very new to me was meeting with my team mates from the Flat Classroom project. These people were from different countries but we had to work together to make a team wiki. At times it became difficult because we could not always communicate well. But, it was very valuable and I will always remember working with the people I met.
Another global learning experience was reading Thomas Friedman's book The World Is Flat. His book taught me a lot about globalization and global collaboration. It really opened my eyes towards the idea that the whole world can be brought together by the internet. This was another valuable global learning experience that will be useful to me in the future.

The third important global learning experience this year was video chatting live with students from other classrooms all over the world. This really showed how we can come together and learn, even though we are not in the same room. This was a very interesting experience and I also had a lot of fun during it.
Digital citizenship is very important whenever a person is dealing with the internet and other people. In this class, that is something that occurred a lot. Although it is fun meeting new people and learning from them, it is also important to handle yourself correctly. One thing about digital citizenship that I think is very important to remember is that you need to be careful with the people you are associating with and to be cautious of the things you do/post. Just because there is a backspace button, that does not mean that you can undo serious actions. This can be as simple as saying something rude to a person to as critical as giving out your last name to a stranger. I learned so much valuable information in just two marking periods of 21st century global studies and I am very excited to see what I will learn before the end of the year.
