  20. Okay – Ready to Jump In? Here is What You Need To Get Started With Telecollaboration in Your Classroom
  21. Step 1 Come up with a great idea you know would benefit from global learning
    • Do your students study different cultures or geographic locations?
    • Would they benefit from collecting data and sharing it with another class?
    • Are there any issues such as the environment or animal protection your students would be passionate about?
    • Do you have any museums, zoos, or other resources nearby that could partner with you?
    • Would they be interested in discussing a book or selecting the Caldecott winner with other classes.
  22. Step 2 Create a Plan to Make it Happen
    • Create a project calendar - set up deadlines, beginnings and endings, and milestones
    • Look at state standards to make sure your project is supported
    • Create Measurable Goals - what will the students produce
    • Keep it manageable - What can you really handle? How much time can you dedicate to the project?
    • Determine how you will communicate with your partner schools
  23. Step 3 – Find Partners
    • Call on your PLN
