Embedding Global Collaborative Projects into the CurriculumJulie Lindsay
Global Project Design essentials for success in the classroom
Presented by Julie Lindsay at the Global Education Conference 2011 and the Beijing Learning Summit 2011.
This session will focus on curriculum design and pedagogy to embed global collaborative learning experiences and projects into the classroom to enhance learning outcomes. Emerging technologies allow students to experience communication and interaction with others around the world, however designing a meaningful learning experience through a global project that is also part of the curriculum is an important part of developing global digital citizenship and intercultural awareness. Techniques used in Flat Classroom Projects from upper elementary level to high school level will be shared and discussed.
Global Footprints: Navigating Leadership for the futureCheryl Doig
This lead paper explores critical capabilities that leaders will need to thrive in a networked, global environment. We must forge new pathways, stepping through challenges with courage and looking to the possibilities – personally and professionally. What are some of the trends and how might leaders operate in future landscapes? What is important to focus on and why is it important right now?
Cultivating knowledge through Communities of PracticeCollabor8now Ltd
The presentation looks at the phenomenon of Communities of Practice and how they can develop into effective knowledge sharing environments. Topics include:
What is a ‘Community of Practice’ (CoP)?
Moving from conversations to collaboration
Community culture and behaviours
What makes a successful community?

Lessons learnt from deployment of CoPs in local government.

Global Leadership: Why being networked mattersCheryl Doig
This presentation explores some ways in which educational leaders are extending their networks and looking beyond their own systems in order to lead for the future. It uses the ACEL Leadership Capability Framework as the basis to explore innovation, partnerships and networks in more depth.
Understanding Transformation and Linking Technology to Student LearningTherese Jilek
This presentation demonstrates our district’s professional development process for technology that is based on a district technology grant process. It will include the research behind the vision that I used to establish our goals for technology. I will share the continuum for learning as well as the teacher reflections throughout the process. Last, I will share how our technology integration is linked to student learning and has developed teacher leaders. This has been a 6-year process and shows how our teachers transformed from using a PC lab environment to a personalized learning environment.
The power of adaptive learning media in the classroom. Learning is social. Bring the real world into the classroom and apply the learning to our real world life experiences. Make the learning real.
