A Global Learning Community Is Born

"While sharing new learning about India, Puja, whose family is from India, commented “My dad says that’s not really true.”

From there we knew we needed more than books. We needed to talk with people in other cultures to discover the ways in which they meet their needs." Deb Frazier, Columbus, Ohio

● Through the power of a single blog post, Primary Perspective, and a single Tweet, GlobalClassroom came to be.

● VoiceThread extended our classroom walls, opened our ears, and shared our voices to the world.
