Vision is to set up a scope and sequence to have studenst participating in collaborative projects.
If you want your students to be globally literate, then they need to engage in global audience.
At Global SchoolNet, students gather info about local issues and engage them at the global scale.
Based on constructivist learning.
Standards-based, collaborative, and geared to connecting US students with students worldwide…to explore community, cultural and scientific issues!
