This document discusses engaging students in a global collaboration project to develop their global competence. It describes a project between the International School of the Americas and other schools where students investigated different perspectives, communicated their ideas using a wiki platform, and took action on global issues. The key takeaways are that the project helped develop students' global competence, used a flat classroom model and wiki for collaboration, and connected multiple schools to share ideas on global topics.
