Hi Theresa -

Thanks for your submission. Can you tell me whether or not you are presenting on behalf of a for profit company or whether you are a consultant? Also, may I suggest that you develop your proposal a bit more and make clear connections to our mission? Our event is focused on global collaboration, not on the ICT itself.

Take care,

Hi Lucy,

This is something a group of educators and I presented over the past few months.  We planned it over the summer and presented a workshop to the teachers in my school in August.  Then we have follow up sessions once a month.  This project is intended for teachers to learn more about web tools and how they are used in the classroom.  The main group of presenters began from a skype group and will continue to grow in the months ahead.

Thanks Lucy!

Resubmission:

Your Name and Title:  Theresa Allen, Educator Virtual PD Series

School, Library, or Organization Name:  Hello Little World Skypers Group, Global Educators

Co-Presenter Name(s):  TBA - unknown at this time

Country from Which You Will Present:  USA

Language in Which You Will Present:  English

Target Audience (such as primary school teachers, high school administrators, students, etc.): Teachers

Short Session Description (one line):  Virtual professional development presented by teachers around the world to help foster global collaboration for other classroom teachers.

Full Session Description (one paragraph minimum):  A live workshop was developed over the summer to present over 10 tools teachers have used effectively in the classroom for teachers' PLN and help foster global collaboration. The teachers who presented are globally connected educators who shared their time and talent in the 3-hour workshop in August.  This workshop was presented through a Google Hangout and follow up sessions are presented monthly through Blackboard Collaborate and Google Hangout.  The educators regularly communicate through their skype group, Hello Little World Skypers and teach or have taught in K-12 schools around the world.  

This group of connected educators share similar values and passions:  to connect themselves and their students globally, and to model and foster global digital citizenship.  Their goal is to prepare their students for 21st century productivity and are willing to show other educators how they do this in the classroom.

The tools presented were:  Edmodo, Socrative, Google Sites, Skype in the Classroom, Twitter, Google Earth, Google Forms, Google Sketchup, IWB Resources and Khan Academy.  A recorded session on ThingLink was also available.  To date, two follow up sessions were presented for Edmodo and Socrative in September and Google Sites and Skype in October.  More presentations will be scheduled in the months ahead.  These tools help foster communication and collaboration on a global basis.

All the best with this session, Theresa. I have a class then, but will try and logon. It might be of interest to my class as well. They are 16 and 17 years of age and make up my year 11 IT class. There are only four of them left at school. What do you think?
