Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar,  "Global Literacy and Geography Resources" presented by Laura Krenicki, September 17, 2016. In addition to her presentation, Laura is providing a special bonus for us: a comprehensive Livebinder she has curated that is loaded with her global and geography resources!

Webinar Description:
Laura Krenicki will share a resource session for teachers looking to find geographic and global educational resources for the classroom.  Finding useful geography materials for students is often a challenge, but this session should help teachers find meaningful ways to incorporate geographic perspectives and global influences in their planning. Students are engaged when they can collaborate in learning with diverse authentic partners. This session will provide interdisciplinary examples of how to get started, and promote the development of 21st-century global literacies.
