with Online Collaborative Learning

Thursday, May 20th, 1:00 pm CST

Powerful Teacher Training Call

Dr. Yvonne Marie Andres, of Global SchoolNet Foundation,  joins us to share how to

• Improve student academic performance through content driven collaboration
• Introduce students to collaboration skills they will be able apply in the workforce
• Prepare youth to be socially responsible global citizens
• Develop valuable professional connections
• Make teaching and learning more enjoyable and relevant experiences

Bestseller Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything sends educators a critical message that individuals can no longer independently learn all they need to know. In a globally connected world, there is enormous value in using online tools and technology to collaboratively connect and learn with others. Join award-winning online learning pioneer, Dr. Yvonne Marie Andres, as she discusses successful integration of project-based, collaborative learning by showcasing the best content, tools and resources that support teachers and their students as they strive to master 21st century learning skills.  This teleseminar will help educational leaders understand that OCL has many benefits.  Youth need to learn collaborative, 21st century learning skills, through safe, structured, supervised, educational projects. Teachers need guidance in transitioning from traditional learning — to new learning tools and experiences (e.g. Flexbooks, blended learning environments, collaborative projects, co-created content, global exhibitions and competitions, virtual field trips). But, without some structure it can lead to chaos and frustration.
