Good morning.....calling all teachers, students, colleagues, etc...

My name is Rossel Mulaire. I am a Canadian teacher who has been living and working in Monterrey, Mexico since 2004. For the past two years, I have been teaching 8th and 9th grade Social Studies/World History. My other responsibilities include being our school's Model United Nation's advisor and Social Studies Department Head. I have taught many different grade levels (first through tenth grades), in Canada, South Korea, and Mexico.

I recently started a little project on Twitter with my 8th and 9th graders, tweeting daily about historical facts and events, sort of like a "this day in history". We are wondering if you'd be able to give out our twitter address to students and teachers. Not only wherever you find yourselves now, but anywhere else you may have contacts. We see this as a great way to teach and appreciate history, bit by bit, one small step at a time. We are trying to use technology to reach more students, and to open dialogue with students and teachers around the world.

If you are in a position to help us, please do so by JOINING US ON TWITTER and by sending our twitter address to students and colleagues, past and present. Ask them to follow our many daily tweets. At the moment, we are tweeting about historical events and facts from around the world. We'd love to see students commenting on our tweets, and also, by adding to our project by posting historical content from their respected countries.

We are hoping to hear from teachers and students from all  parts of the world! The students are keeping a record of the various countries following us! Please help out by following us. The more people (students, teachers, family members, etc) we have following us, the more excited the students get. This excitement then becomes a motivator to continue! Help us make learning about history a little more interesting!

Our  twitter address is: www.twitter.com/rosselmulaire

Please feel free to contact me anytime. I'd be happy to answer any questions or doubt you may have.

Hey Everyone! I want to introduce myself and the Asia Society Partnership for Global Learning!

The next generation of high school graduates will be prepared for, or will be passed by, in a sweeping new era of global interdependence. There is an urgent need for new approaches to education to meet new demands. Asia Society’s vision is that all students will graduate high school ready for college and competent to compete, communicate and cooperate in a global environment.

To reach this vision, Asia Society has formed the Partnership for Global Learning. A membership network created to support a national movement of all K-12 stakeholders – educators, policymakers, universities, parents and individuals – the Partnership is working to develop students who are prepared for work and citizenship in the global 21st century. The Partnership provides:
 Opportunities to share best practices, resources, and models to stimulate new approaches through annual conferences, monthly e-newsletters, and collaborative learning activities
 Resources including curriculum products and tools, online programming and professional development for districts, schools and after school programs
 Policy Initiatives to address the need for public policies and actions at the state and national level
 Collaborations between U.S. and Asian schools and educators and opportunities to learn from best practice around the world
 Communication through publications, presentations and digital media
 Research and Development of new internationally focused schools and approaches to integrating rigorous global learning in existing schools

To learn more, visit us at www.asiasociety.org/pgl

We're also hosting our Second Annual Conference, "Putting the World into World-Class Education" on July 9-11th in the Washington, D.C. Metro Area! www.asiasociety.org/forum

Regards,
Chantal Bonitto
