Short Session Description (one line):  Global Collaborations are awesome but how do I fit them in?!?!

Full Session Description (as long as you would like):

The terms Global Collaborations and Global Learning have a huge buzz in the education world now.  All the cool kids are doing it.   But as a classroom teacher, how can you integrate all this Global stuff in your daily lessons?   With state mandated testing, pacing guidelines, and everything that goes into teaching day to day, it is difficult to find the time.   In this session, I will not be providing theory but actually application of creating a Global Classroom from a teacher who is doing it now.

I will provide a step by step guide to finding schools worldwide, websites that make the process easier, and I will also show you how to travel for free and gain some of the best Global Professional Development in the world while you are doing it.
