Small-World was a space created for a unit of work based on Globalisation and how it effects all of us as individuals. Two classes (a Year 5/6 class from Canterbury, NZ and a Year 7 class from Hamilton, NZ) worked together to discover what it meant to be a young person in the 21st Century. Students were given the following task:

What are the environmental, economic and cultural impacts of globalisation?

You will be working with students from another class to plan, create, produce and edit a documentary showing your understanding of globalisation and it's effects on your generation. You will be required to plan the video and collaborate with other team members. The finished video will be uploaded to Youtube where we will have a competition to see who can get the most views!

The students used the wikispace, edmodo and Skype to work in groups of 4 to create a finished product. It was a challenging assignment and in the end some students created a 5-frame story instead of the documentary.
