Welcome to the course "Let's TEC Together 26"
Dear Students,
Welcome to this cultural venture! We are so excited to have you all with us in this seven-week collaboration. This is the fifth virtual exchange between our two universities. We are aware that there are various possible hurdles ahead of us, but we are excited about this unique possibility and what we can learn together. Our goal is to connect across cultural and physical borders to get to know each other, compare and analyze cultural practices and perspectives, and create teaching material together for culturally contextualized teaching.
You will be put into small teams with whom you will work together to complete the tasks described below. Before meeting your team members, you will need to finish the "Getting to know each other" assignment that you will find described below.
Once you have completed this step you will be ready for our first synchronous session on Nov 5th! Here you will learn more about all the steps to complete the VE experience and what your group tasks will be.
Looking forward to this wonderful collaboration!
Manal, Gabriella, and Orly
