Rapidly expanding internet access, especially in the developing world, makes it possible for students to connect from across countries, socioeconomic backgrounds, and ideologies. Through first-person accounts from teachers around the world, we’ll explore how online peer-to-peer learning is changing the way that students understand the world, practice languages, and share perspectives. We’ll review the latest collaborative learning tools, explore data that connects global ed to positive learning outcomes, and examine how students’ experiences broaden their perspectives and form the foundation for a more peaceful and collaborative planet.
