Blogging the Classroom
I would use a blog for students to share with students from other classes. They could share character journals, answers to their questions, and discussions over controversial topics. If I could teach the British point of view on the Revolutionary war in global class and then a detailed American point of view in eleventh grade US History, they could discuss a common event.I teach an 8th Grade Social Studies class US History 1865 to Present, 9th grade Global I and 11th grade US History (block). I think just allowing students to share what they find interesting on a topic will help get other students interested as well. I think being able to join in the discussion and help guide it along while providing places and ways to find their answers would be an incredible tool for learning.
