Short Session Description (one line):
Setting Up a Global Project in Your Classroom: Where to Start and What to Think About
Full Session Description (one paragraph minimum):
Are you thinking about going global and flattening your classroom? What connections do teachers need to make before, during and after a global project? This session will offer resources where to make global connections with other schools and organizations, ideas to think about in setting up a global project, and how to help create a global project that unites young people around the world. The presenter will discuss a global project that is being established for the upcoming spring between a Japanese School and her middle school in suburban New York. The presenter will address current project ideas, necessary technologies needed, and resources for starting your own global project.
This session will address different global projects that teachers can create and do with their students in any content area. The presenter will share past projects students completed that teachers can model in their classrooms. If teachers truly want to help prepare students for the future than what we do in our classroom should reflect this. Students need opportunities to interact with one another, in addition to within their communities as well as globally. Students need ample opportunities to create and share using technology and digital media. This workshop will address how teachers can help students extend and apply knowledge in diverse and creative ways.

If you would like your proposal to be considered for the 2012 Global Education conference, please make any changes by October 29th.
Hi Lucy,
Thank you for constantly sending me reminders for the project. School has been keeping me busy and working on some new initiatives for a global project this spring. I was about to delete my proposal all together, but I have gone ahead and rewritten the entire thing. Hope this is more what you are looking for and something that I will be able to share with GEC. Thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal.

Hi Michele -
Please take a look at our mission and add more language that makes the connection to global awareness and communication more apparent. This is not a general education conference.

Thanks,
Lucy Gray
Conference Co-Chair
Deadline for revisions is October 15, FYI!
