Participate and share: Poster 
In a world of global communication, students access worldwide audiences. Their actions become instantly public for the world to see at a very young age. Social media/technology tools create massive potential for learning effective global-scale communication.
Attendees will leave the session with:
- an understanding of the importance of adults integrating and modeling effective global communication skills at an early age.
- a process for facilitating student growth in global communication skills.
- ideas on partnering with parents and/or becoming a student advocate to encourage and reinforce becoming effective global communicators.
- ideas to coach students to build their “brand” and professional reputations.
Presenter will share how technology tools and social media impact the way students must prepare themselves for global communication (both from personal and professional experience). Presenter will share how to cultivate and develop the skills needed to become a skilled communicator for a global audience at a young age, as well as how social media can provide a powerful platform for student voice. Presenter will also share how educators can effectively support and facilitate global communication skills among students from an earlier age. Presenter will share how to overcome concern for online safety and create systems for effectively monitoring and providing feedback for growth for student/child activity online, and for coaching students to create a “brand” and build a professional reputation.
Cooperative learning activities will be embedded throughout the session, as well as interactive activities including audience polling, accessing online materials and resources, participant-to-participant interaction, and online Q&A to be included in the presentation.
