"Program encourages kids’ global learning"

December 2, 2011
 
"CHARLES TOWN - With the help of students from around the world, students at Charles Town Middle School discovered a new enthusiasm for math and global learning.
 
For four days, Sherri Mackey's 86 sixth-grade math students at Charles Town Middle School participated in a math unit solving problems and interpreting graphs, data and statistics with math classes in Russia, Italy and Illinois through Kidlink.
 
Kidlink is a user-owned-and-operated program, meaning teachers like Massey can create a unit and post it on Kidlink or search for an existing unit. Classrooms across the world are then matched to the unit and begin the project together.
 
"They have the whole world of knowledge sitting in front of them, but that was my biggest goal, to use what they know best, and that's the future for them, to find everything they can on that laptop," said Massey.
 
Massey said Kidlink engaged the students in math, allowing them to use technology skills they already possess while also teaching the students about global technology and learning and becoming a global citizen."
