Jan 2020
The beginning of a New Year and a new decade!
Happy New Year to all our ISTE Global Collaboration PLN! For many of us, January heralds the start of a New Year and a new decade. Asian colleagues may celebrate the Lunar New Year at the end of January. For some, it will also be the start of a new school year. Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, Google maps and a wide range of Instant Messaging apps made their debut in the last decade.What will this decade bring? Technology has enabled globalisation and empowered educators to connect, collaborate and network at a grass roots level allowing the World to be their Classroom. This newsletter features a taste of global projects, events and conferences that you might like to participate into take global collaboration into 2020 and beyond.
