Research, Explore, and Create Anywhere with Global Collaboration

A webinar with Dyane Smokorowski, KS STOY 2013

September 30th, 8-9:00PM EST

We often hear of small the world really is, but did you know that it's easier than ever for students investigate Earth's cultures and wonders with just a few simple tools, a sense of curiosity and adventure, and the right teacher digital network?  In this session we will explore how to connect your students to experts, museums, National Parks, zoos and even other classrooms around the globe through video conferencing tools.  We will also examine globally connected classrooms that are taking the Common Core's concepts of curiosity, critical thinking, creating, and collaborating beyond the final frontier.  Be prepared to take your imagination on an incredible journey as you develop opportunities for your own students in this webinar.
