Global Education is vital.

A World of Difference

adapted from chris@virtualstaffroom.net (Chris Betcher)

Michael Graffin is a young relief teacher from near Perth, Western Australia who has never had his own classroom but has still managed to discover the joys of working across the Internet on global projects. In this episode, Michael is joined by one of his collaboration partners Theresa Allen from Chicago, and also Lisa Parisi from New York, as we discuss the wonders of learning using online collaborative projects.

"The important issue is that every class, every grade level, every subject are needs to start weaving global competencies into their curriculum…not leaving it to World Language classes and teachers." Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano
