The project discussed in this podcast was Eracism. This new word, made up of two other words, (erase and racism) means to erase racism. This project was created by students all over the world using new technological tools such as voicethread to make the debates seem synchronous. Instead of just using text only to discuss issues, students were able to record debates about issues and receive the information that way. They also used Diigo to have the students collectively store their research and their resources. They designed their own protocols and formats as to how the debates were designed and run.
I thought this was a great way for students all over the world to connect with each other, discuss issues, and find solutions without ever having met. In today's world, technology enables us to collaborate with so many people with so many different talents to work on finding solutions to pressing issues. As I've stated in other reflections, I firmly believe that my generation is responsible for learning as much as we can for and with our students to grow in education, technology, and as active participants in life.
