10. MY EXPERIENCE AS AN EXPERT ADVISOR IN A GLOBAL CLASSROOM Very rewarding when sharing knowledge, guiding students, helping them out and seeing progress and final results. Communication, cooperation among expert advisors must be improved. Fantastic way to get approached to this form of collaboration/learning as a pre-service teacher. This encourage me to implement learning in a global classroom in my future teaching career.
