Short Session Description (one line): Enter today`s classroom with no walls, take your attendance with no lists, and communicate with the media genaration students without any borders, where everyone is equal, everyone can learn and no one is left behind.
Full Session Description (as long as you would like): This presentation is about redefining one of the missing links of the students' engagement in what and where the teacher is teaching. It is not about identifying a student with a learning disability or a socioeconomic status. It is about combining the virtual reality of the student to the classroom reality and providing equity and diversity through collaboration. It is a bridge between: where students are, where they are heading to and how and what "language" they are using; and where teachers need to be. Enter tomorrow's classroom today without borders, with differentiated instruction and assistive technology for all students including special education and autistic students. By removing classroom borders and practicing Global education we will be removing social constraints and avoiding students from falling through the crackes. Bring the global classroom to your school and you will bring social justice to others.
