As teachers we focus on our professional network but have we thought about building our student's networks? Learn how to grow connected students by changing the way we teach and our expectations of our students. I will present global opportunities for students that can easily be a part of your classroom experiences. You no longer just need to think outside the box you need to think "around the world"!
6. ‘global’ in this sense does not mean ‘multi-
lingual’. Global graduates, are those who 'can take
a global perspective' and 'can work in multi-
disciplinary, multi-cultural and multi-locational
teams'. To succeed in a global context we need to
seek to develop generations of young people who
are culturally agile and aware of the wider world.
~ Sonja Stockton, director of talent at PricewaterhouseCoopers
7. “If we want young people
to achieve success in the
world today, we must step
up and support students
as they build their own
21st century
rolodex.” ~Lisa Nielsen
25. BENEFITS TO GLOBAL COLABORATIONS
Finding Expertise
Multicultural Awareness
Authentic Audience
Connections for their Future
26. Increasingly, those who use
technology in ways that expand
their global connections are
more likely to advance, while
those who do not will find
themselves on the sidelines.”

How many of you have a PLN? How about an online one? What does that look like? As teachers/educators we focus on our professional network but have we thought about building our student's networks? I believe we need to change the way we teach and our expectations of our students. I full heartedly believe our students need global experience!!! You no longer just need to think outside the box you need to think "around the world"!
Educators are connecting on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, blogs, Google Hangouts and more, as they develop personal learning networks as a tool for professional growth. Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) are those connections individual learners make to suit their specific perceived learning needs. Educators know that in today’s world, value is found in more than just what you know; who you know and how to make the most of those connections and information is even more important. This holds true for youth as well. If we want young people to achieve success in the world today, we must step up and support students as they build their own 21st century rolodex, the PLN.
If we only educate our children in the four walls of our classroom they will come out uneducated!

Can they direct them to a blog, or instagram account that is a history of their learning?
They need to know the why, share your PLN. There needs to be a purpose.
Create activities that allow them to use their network.
Allow them time to expand and grow this network.
