“As the world becomes increasingly connected, so should our schools. It’s a matter of bringing global collaboration experiences to the classroom and getting comfortable with handing over the reins of learning to students.
Exposing students to global collaboration builds cultural understanding, communication skills, and knowledge and awareness of the wider world, experts say. And while global learning isn’t new, it is reaching a new level of maturity as more educators come to understand the value of learning in a global context.” Julie Randles, ISTE
Teachers will learn and experience multiple ways to provide collaboration opportunities for the students in their classrooms and beyond. The afternoon will include supported planning time for teachers to implement their learning into their classrooms.
