Global Education Projects Sponsored By You or That You're Involved In:

Summer Scholars: A gifted student summer program for grades 8, 9, and 10. I teach a 2 week class, and I am the Co-Director.
This summer we will be creating a Ning and want to collaborate with other classrooms for 1 or 2 days. We will be exploring ways to use technology to promote social causes and missional living. Ideally, we want to talk to students in many different cities and countries to gather new ideas and inspire others with our own.
