Whether “top down” or bottom up,” educators around the globe are addressing the challenge and opportunity of integrating Internet-based technologies into the classroom  to  transform learning.  Hear about efforts from Kenya to China and from California to Maine to safely connect and provide collaborative experiences in the ePals Global Community.

During the conference we explored this topic in the Sessions (below).  Presented materials and much more information is available under “Description & Material.”  Join the Conversations by going to “Session Discussion.” We encourage you to POST and, even better, upload useful links to your work or to other quality information!
