Global Collaboration in the K-12 Classroom

In our final episode of Global Collaboration for the K-12 classroom, we explore the grant writing process and discuss key elements to help land important funding opportunities. 

In this episode, I introduce you to four additional sites that will help you forge connections and provide even more project ideas. Next, I walk you through some of my favorite Web 2.0 tools like AirTable, Slack, and Periscope that are perfect for collaborating occurring inside and outside the classroom.

In this episode I identify four common obstacles to successful global collaboration: technological, language (verbal and non-verbal), logistical, and perceptual. Tune in to discover how to plan for these potential roadblocks so your students meet learning goals and not frustrations. 

In this episode of Global Collaboration for the K-12 classroom, we take a look four middle school and four high school global collaboration projects perfect for implementing in the language arts classroom. 

In this episode, we tackle global collaboration for the hottest of K-12 disciplines: STEM, science, and mathematics. Featured projects are ideal for middle and high school participants and will usually work for more than one particular discipline. 

In this episode, I introduce eight exciting global collaboration projects designed specifically for middle and high school social studies classes to build cultural awareness, build geographical skills, celebrate diversity and history, and debate vital global issues.

In this episode we look at eight existing global collaboration projects designed specifically for early childhood education. Four programs offer no to low direct interaction and are quite simplistic to start while four others are yearlong and more involved projects. 

In this episode, we discuss finding support for your global project initiatives, leaning on colleagues, district administrators, co-instructors, and community experts for assistance where appropriate. We also discuss getting students involved in the planning process and keeping parents up-to-date on all the fun activities.
