This collection of anecdotes, inspiring examples and methodologies for implementing online global collaboration offers educators from any background and learning environment ideas for connecting with the world to achieve meaningful learning.

Modern learning must be global, providing intercultural understanding and collaboration to personalize learning, achieve curriculum objectives and bring the world to students. Educators must be empowered, and learning environments must be connected in order to "flatten" learning around the globe. This calls for a shift in pedagogy, a shift in mindset and the integration of digital and online technologies.

How do we navigate these new waters of networked learning? What model can be developed for globally connected learning that will support classroom teachers, education leaders and higher education?

In The Global Educator, author and global education forerunner Julie Lindsay answers these questions and more, illustrating the need for intercultural understanding and collaboration to personalize learning and providing a vital snapshot of a time when the world is shrinking and becoming more accessible to all.

The book includes:

Pedagogical approaches and frameworks for global online collaborative learning.
Technology resources to empower educators and education leaders to make meaningful connections.
Case studies and contributions from more than 100 global educators who are embedding their practices into curriculum objectives and providing their students with invaluable educational experiences.

This book provides insights into global learning and how online technology supports a new learning paradigm -- one that is global, ubiquitous and potentially very exciting for all learners.

Audience: K-12 classroom teachers; school and district leaders

Industry Reviews

From School Library Journal-

Global educators are reaping multifaceted benefits from using technology to connect classrooms in far-flung places. Aimed at teachers who are veterans at networking across oceans as well as those trying to take the first step, this volume is full of descriptions and testimonials about student engagement and enriched curricula. Browsing this work feels more like navigating a website than reading a flowing narrative; the pages are filled with boxed quotations, links to more information, and the Twitter handles and blog URLs of noteworthy global educators. Targeting beginners, the first section is glossarylike: vocabulary and concepts are defined. Later on, Lindsay summarizes case studies, which will be germane to novices and seasoned global educators alike, and presents a link to an ebook companion. An annotated bibliography; a who's who of leaders in global education; and a list of organizations, conferences, websites, and blogs will resonate with practitioners and newcomers as they gear up. The content has currency and is high quality, though the book may have a short shelf life because of rapidly changing technology and networking. VERDICT This intricately researched and well-organized offering is a worthy introduction and reference source on global education and is appropriate for school libraries whose global education initiatives have been already launched as well as those who are just jetting started.-Amy Thurow, New Glarus School District, WI
