 * Global Collaborative Learning **


 * Global collaborative learning is a way to connect with other classes around the country and around the world. There are sites that cover all subject areas and they are usually easy to join. By doing global collaborative work students are able to increase their cultural awareness, sharpen technology skills and engage in a rich, fulfilling learning experience.**
 * I have included links to some of the sites that schools can use and it starts (after the conference link) with a site that I would love to see someone be able to participate in. It’s the Tooth Tally Project and I wasn’t able to talk any of the teachers I’ve worked with previously into participating, despite the fact that I told them how it was cross-curricular and that I would be the lead person and do all of the work – sigh. These are dynamic learning opportunities for our students that people will hopefully engage in.**
 * Rachel included the link for the Global Education Conference, which happens to be going on right now!**
