Looking for a (free) opportunity to engage with educators across the globe? Then join us online at the GEC Conference today through Wednesday! The conference is a "collaborative, world-wide community initiative involving students, educators, and organizations at all levels. It is designed to significantly increase opportunities for building education-related connections around the globe while supporting cultural awareness, recognition of diversity, and educational access for all."

Choose from over 100 diverse presentations, being hosted around-the-clock on the Blackboard Collaborate platform. (Check out the schedule for your timezone here.) Presentations include topics like:

  • Developing Globally Competent Students
  • World Peace Music Project
  • A World of #CollaborativePD
  • Flipped Learning
  • Green Digital Footprints
  • And much, much more!

Take the conference to the next level with our Game On! GEC Connect game, which includes three missions: GEC Sessions, GEC Connections, and GEC Explorations. Reach 300 points to qualify for a special digital badge and a personalized participation certificate.

Join Alludo's Julia Francis to learn how to get started and fulfill the activity and mission requirements. She will also share more about using Alludo as a tool for global learning across multiple locations, organizations and sites to further communication, collaboration and fun!
