As an aspiring future educator, I am delighted to have come across this organization that is making a significant impact on education and change. Upon inspecting the site, I came across the Virtual Learning Center which is essentially guide to what WE have to offer to both teachers and students.

The Virtual Learning Center has an array of resources for educators including, on-demand library, grants and awards, service-learning resources and activities to name a few. For my future classroom I would love to use the on-demand video library in a lesson plan because of the visual engagement that students lean more towards. This video is an example of one of the many resources also offered for training educators in their professional development.

I also was very excited about the lesson packages feature you can browse by grade, skill, or theme making lesson planning easier. One other exciting feature is the virtual workshops packed with numerous topics you can choose from like, self-care and wellbeing workshop to taking action for education workshop. All workshops have a recommended grade level and an opportunity for teachers to rate the workshops. Accordingly, I feel that this tool is a tremendous resource for educators who are seeking to be a part of a global classroom dynamic to partner with different schools in different countries and affect change.
