ALL global projects this semester will run with the same timeline:

• September 9 - Project registration deadline
  
• Week of September 9 - Teacher online meeting
  
• September 9-October 7 - Project preparation for collaboration - Digital handshakes and introductions
  
• October 7-December 6 - Global collaboration
  
• Week of December 9 - Project closing and farewell
  

Schools and educators planning to join us note we have allocated one month for:

• class introductions
• settling into the project
• teacher PD on tools and processes used for collaboration.
  

This is in response to feedback from past semesters where classrooms have not had enough time to connect in person and for students to build empathy with partners ready to collaborate.

Access to Flat Connections global projects is via subscription. There are four main subscription levels - Teacherpreneur, Bronze, Silver and Gold.

Don't forget the subscription details are in Australian dollars! (check your conversion with http://xe.com)

If you are a single global teacher in a school the TEACHERPRENEUR subscription gives you access to our global community and to one project for one semester.

If you have 2-3 of classrooms (at any level or mixed levels, up to 50 students) who want to join (to one or more projects) the BRONZE subscription is best for you.

If you have a variety of student groups across levels and across projects, up to 100 students, the SILVER subscription gives you great flexibility to mix and match.

The GOLD subscription is for those schools who are really focused on global collaborative learning and building intercultural understanding and global competency into their whole school programs.

What about......

• If you have more than 200 students wanting to join projects?
• If you want to talk about a customised approach to global learning that offers a unique approach for your school and maybe even includes teacher professional learning?
