Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence, and the Future of Education
Cross-posted on the K12Online Conference blog I could not be more honored to be the pre-conference keynote speaker for this year’s K12 Online conference! I have been participating in this annual conference since its inception in 2006 and every year I am amazed at the quality of presentations shared by educators around the world. The opportunity to [...]How To Connect Your Students Globally
Cross-posted on the TechLearning Advisors Blog Two weeks after returning from the Flat Classroom Workshop in Hong Kong, I am still inspired and energized about what learning could (and should) look like. The key component for me was connecting students, both face to face and virtually, from a variety of backgrounds to work together to solve a [...]Reflections on the Flat Classroom Workshop
Last weekend I had the honor of co-leading the Flat Classroom Workshop (pictures here) with Julie Lindsay at the 21st Century Learning Conference in Hong Kong. I have to admit that although I knew it would be amazing after everything I had heard about the Flat Classroom Conference in Doha earlier this year, I had [...]Workshop ‘Till You Drop

In addition to moving into a slightly new role and continuing to teach courses for our SUNY Certificate of Educational Technology and Information Literacy, I’m also very excited to be involved in a [...]Difficult Conversations

- Hello Kim:
Im in Puerto Rico right now and checking we have a 12 hours difference. As a Spanish teacher made a change and started studying to become a school librarian. Reading your blog was very interesting. My husband is a Civil engineer and helps me with my studies and dreams to make my students better citizens.
Im interested in doing something with your kids.

I believe you have done some work with Alecia Berman-Dry at St. John's Episcopal School. I used to work at St. John's but now am at The Key School in Annapolis, MD.
I teach an 8th Grade Global Studies class and am looking to form a partnership with middle school students somewhere in Asia/Oceania.
Would you be interested in pursuing this possiblity?
Yours,
Jonathan Oglesbee

You need to "meet" my new friend Kathleen Czop... she's taught at a variety of international schools including one in Cambodia, and now she's at a boarding school in Colorado. Very funny and interesting person! I invited her to join this group, and I'm hoping she takes me up on the invitation!
