international learning opportunities
One of the best ways to globalize a classroom is to take advantage of one or more international project-based learning opportunities. It can't be for want of available opportunities that a teacher does not take advantage of them. Most of these opportunities involve student participation in a variety of ways and help bring our classrooms into contact with others around the world and bring the world into our classrooms.
