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

"The aim of the Global Classroom is to inspire and enable new ways to share, learn and connect on a global scale. Bring the world into the classroom and the classroom into the world. Create link-ups to facilitate educational collaborations, where students engage with other students in a relevant & meaningful way.” This session will use a Kahoot - a game-based teaching and learning experience - to engage the audience with questions on best ways to link classrooms virtually. Triggered by the game, we will ask the audience to participate in a discussion on how to use technology to facilitate new forms of collaboration and learning between teachers on opposite sides of the world. We will use examples of several teachers who have had great success bringing their classes together to share cultures and ideas.
