Connect your classroom to the globe

Students live in a world where they want to connect, communicate and create. Collaborative global projects provide strategies that build skills of productive collaboration, virtual teamwork and develop a range of higher order thinking processes. Global projects also prepare students to compete and survive in a global workforce and world by following appropriate digital citizenship procedures, netiquette and codes of conduct. This session will discuss some of the synchronous and asynchronous tools that may be used and the projects that schools may get involved in. These tools include blogs, wikis, nings, google applications, twitter, skype,etherpad, liveblogging, voicethreads etc.
