Question 11 • Online Learning and Digital Citizenship
Read the excerpt from a student’s report.I was honored to be a part of an online group of students from the United States, Africa, and China seeking solutions to water shortages. While we all had great enthusiasm about changing the world, the project quickly dissolved because no one was willing to listen to differing viewpoints.
Answer
A
We agreed as a group to spend some time studying each other’s country and meet again at a later date.
B
We saved the project by allowing each group to share their thoughts and then chose the best solutions.
C
We decided to disband and seek solutions with students from other countries who shared our viewpoints.
D
We thought it would be best to stop meeting until our cultural differences can be addressed.
Explanation
The project fell apart because group members would not listen to differing viewpoints. Letting each group share its ideas would directly address that problem and give everyone a chance to contribute before the students select the strongest solutions. Choice B, “We saved the project by allowing each group to share their thoughts and then chose the best solutions,” is therefore the best fit.
