How do we bring 21st Century skills into our schools?  How do we involve not just students but also administrators in collaborative experiences that broaden the scope of our reach and bring a world of experience and excitement into our schools?  Through the use of cloud-based collaboration, of course!  During this session the presenter describes how not only teachers, but also administrators use cloud-based computing to create collaborative activities that enhance learning and eliminate paper work. Through cloud-based computing teachers and students create documents that can be shared and edited in real time by a large network of users, getting rid of the classroom walls and bringing collaboration to a level that motivates everyone to work and excel.  Global collaboration at its best happens when peers from around the world create and work together on projects that bring pride and a sense of accomplishment to our students and teachers.
