Via this social network, educators and organizations from all over the world share conversations, resources, projects, and initiatives with a strong emphasis on promoting global awareness, fostering global competency, and inspiring action towards solving real-world problems. Our ultimate goal is to help prepare students for a rapidly changing and complex world.

- 128. WHY NOW? @oline73: Can you distill why globally connected classrooms are vital in 2010? Photo source
- 129. We have urgent problems that need to be addressed and, in order to prepare our students to work on these problems, we must connect them globally. We must teach them how networked learning leads to networked problem solving.
- 130. So what? 21st century Skills: The art of teaching comes through via the weaving of 21st century themes into core content. Focus on inquiry and the thoughtful use of technology in classrooms. It is not all about the tools. Learning Environments: There has been an emphasis on educating the whole child. Shift the discussion to address the whole learning environment. Personalized learning for both students and teachers is important. Global Collaborations: It’s so easy to connect classrooms today. It’s essential that we bring the world into our classrooms and inspire students with the possibilities. This is where you apply the tools!

- 136. Ideas • Administrators can encourage experimentation by awarding small innovation Grants. • Consider adding a Year of Innovation theme to your PD efforts (H/T to Don Buckley) • Attend and host EdCamps, Playdates and other informal unconferences. • Leverage informal learning opportunities. • Consider using after school time to experiment with Maker Spaces, Coderdojos, etc.
