With the advent of collaborative technologies, it is easier than ever to connect with classrooms around the world. In this session, technology coach Lucy Gray will lead discussions on essential global competencies for students and teachers as well as strategies for connecting to other educators. During this workshop, participants will learn about initiatives, project-based learning models, and specific tools that allow teachers to bring the world to their students.

Bring your mobile devices as well as ideas stemming from your classroom experiences that could be developed into collaborative projects. We will participate in a mini-project and will start networking with other educators around the world to plant the seeds for your future potential projects. Participants will also have time to start designing their own projects for the upcoming school year.

Participants will be able to:
 * understand the importance of connecting classrooms to others around the world
 * discover and explore existing classroom projects in which they may participate
 * identify criteria for creating authentic, meaningful projects
 * develop strategies for planning and executing their own projects
 * identify digital tools that will assist them in globalizing their classrooms
