I will introduce participants to the Global Read Aloud, a project in which students around the world participate in a read aloud of the same pre-selected book. This project gives students the experience of learning about other cultures while celebrating differences in people. Global connections will be made through technology tools such as Padlet, Flipgrid, Kidblog, Twitter, etc. The digital resources used allow students to be connected globally.
The presentation will include a short introduction to the project (video from the founder of The GRA) & the following information:
--What is it?
--When is it?
--How do I sign up?
--How do I connect globally?
--What resources are needed- digital & non-digital?
--Q & A
The goal of the session will be to provide educators with an instructional resource that will connect their classroom globally through literature and technology that is simple and fun for all.
