Short Session Description (one line): Fostering Global Learners by Connecting Libraries and Projects Around the World
Full Session Description (as long as you would like):
Collaboration has become crucial for twenty-first-century educators and leaners. The need in society to think and work together on issues of critical concern has increased (Austin 2000a; Welch 1998). From individual work, we are now focused on group and collaborative work.
The effects of this collaboration on student’s success and enjoyment are huge and as educators we must incorporate collaboration to as many aspects of our teaching as possible.
I order to promote and recognize some of the great collaborative projects other librarians are running by connecting libraries all over the world, this session will share some of those projects, giving tips on how to get on board and how to engage your students into global education, fostering and inspiring global learners.
