The presentations will be given using Blackboard Collaborate, a webinar platform we may have viewed in our Gateway class. Blackboard Collaborate is easy to use but you will need to download a file to your computer for each session and have a working internet connection. Links to each session are given in the schedule. Each presentation typically lasts 60 minutes. Keep in mind that some presentations may be in another language; last year's conference had presentations from 62 different countries.
The conference is a collaborative, world-wide community initiative involving students, educators, and organizations at all levels. It is designed to significantly increase opportunities for building education-related connections around the globe while supporting cultural awareness and recognition of diversity.
The conference seeks to present ideas, examples, and projects related to connecting educators and classrooms with a strong emphasis on promoting global awareness, fostering global competency, and inspiring action towards solving real–world problems. Through this event, it is our hope that attendees will challenge themselves and others to become more active citizens of the world. Let us learn, question, create, and engage in meaningful, authentic opportunities within a global context!

Please take one hour out of the next four days to hear what others are doing around the world. You may find some presentations lean towards educational technology but all should address the global experience of learning. Enjoy!
