The global educator’s tool that stuck out the most to me was the National Geographic Explorer Classroom. After reading the short explanation on their website, https://www.nationalgeographic.org/tickets/explorer-classroom/, I am super excited to use this tool in my future classroom! They have many different scheduled events that students can sign up for where they are able to interact with different scientists, researchers, and storytellers. They have set times for different aged children, so they can gear their sessions towards their learning levels. They have their events planned out almost a month in advance so people are able to plan accordingly.

This video is an example of how one of the events would be run. The speaker would introduce themselves and teach/inform about their topic. Overall, I think this tool is an excellent resource for young children to be able to interact with other educators and learn about different topics.
