Welcome to this semester’s last blog post!!
I can’t believe that this will be the last blog post of the semester. I definitely have learned a lot throughout this course. But you’re probably not here to read about my experience. Let’s start talking about the case study in the book “The Global Educator” by Julie Lindsay.
At the end of the Global Educator, there is a section of the book that talks about ten different case studies. These case studies explore different opportunities for professional learning and collaboration. These collaborations and opportunities include online and virtual courses as well as conferences with face-to-face events.
One case study caught my eye in particular. That is the Global Education Conference , created by Steve Hargadon and Lucy Gray.
The Global Education Conference, created in the USA, is a “collaborative, inclusive, worldwide community initiative involving students, educators and organizations at all levels.” The goal of this project was to connect classrooms across the world while raising cultural awareness and spreading recognition of diversity all across the world.
This year, they held their ninth annual global conference with different educators, students, and teachers. Each person chosen to represent at the conference mist come up with a proposal. Proposals should focus on ideas, projects or programs that can help promote global learning and collaboration.
