FORMAT: Presentation LANGUAGE: English SHORT DESCRIPTION: As an educator in the 21st century, I take into account the different learning styles of my students. The student's learning style is varied depending on what is being learnt. Thus, I have used a wide range of collaborative tools and web technologies to reinforce and enhance the learning of my students. I have been using ePals since 2005 as a safe collaborative technology to connect between my students and students from around the world. Our Global Projects aim at encouraging active, meaningful, and authentic learning as well as engaging learner-centered classroom where students from around the world share their outcomes on a variety of topics. The " Green Schools Project " is a communicative based project which, aims at creating greener and healthier learning environments through educational experience by collaborating between students from around the globe. Our goal is to promote a global awareness of ecological sustainability among students from around the world. "My Home Town Project" encourages students from around the world to share information about their cities as representing their culture.
