How you choose to participate in #globalclassroom is up to you.
- Join one of our participants’ #globalclassroom projects (e.g. Kids Speak) (Subscribe to this blog for project announcements)
- Participate in a mascot or Flat Stanley exchange
- Establish a long-term connection with a teacher and class in another country (e.g. via penpal, email, blogging, or skype exchanges).
If you’re an experienced global collaborator, you might like to share and build your own global project ideas. We’ll help publicise your ideas via the Global Classroom wiki, blog, and Twitter updates; and provide whatever PLN help, online resources, and support you need to make your ideas a reality. It will be your project, and we’ll let you run with it.
Interested?
If you’re interested in joining the Global Classroom 2011-12 community, please fill out the relevant grade-level sign-up form and join our wiki. We’ll introduce you to our network, and email you all the information you need.
We are particularly keen to recruit more Grades 4-12 teachers; and are more than happy to welcome new participants through to the conclusion of the project in June 2012.

Fantastic idea! This concept is just what I was hoping existed. Apparently, it does. Well done! I would love find other 5th grade classrooms to connect with in different parts of the world.
Good luck with your launch!

Thanks Kyle!
Welcome to #globalclassroom! We’ll be posting further details re. our official webinar launch next week. We hope to see you there.
It’s great to meet colleagues from around the globe who share a common thirst to explore new ways of helping their students develop. I’ll be glad to be part of this community.
Our classes love to skype and share projects with their buddies around the world.
We’re open to suggestions!
Hi Effie! I loved your work with the bilingual wiki!
You would be more than welcome to get involved in the #globalclassroom network – we have MANY teachers (all over the world) who would LOVE to skype and collaborate with you!

Hi Michael,
Your word of praise is more than welcome as I’ve only been involved in web 2.0 exploration and blogging for the past two months. It’s worth every weekend and sleepless hour I spent though and great teachers like the ones in this community keep appearing. I just LOVE that!
Where do I find the registration form?
All the best
