Greetings GEC members -
Stay tuned for news about the Global Education Conference.... we're almost ready to moving on this year's conference! In the meantime, make sure to join our volunteer group and/or our international advisory board group. If you're interested in serving as a global project mentor to others, there's even a group for you.
Also, most North American schools are starting their school year; this is a great time to post projects that you're planning for the next few months. Post early, post often in the discussion forum so that people can plan ahead! Organizations and others, feel free to post your professional development events, too!
On to other tidbits....
