Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

The purpose of our presentation is to speak to educators that are interested in global collaboration and provide them ideas, tools, and resources on how to become involved or grow what they are already doing. The opportunities that we will speak on will be ones that educators that have never participated in global collaboration before can easily jump into but also that may be new to veterans. We will give examples of collaboration projects that that weave nicely into various content areas. Attendees will leave with a goal and rough draft of a plan or idea in mind.
