1-to-1 is as good as what you do with it. If edu­ca­tors view this as a vehi­cle for crit­i­cal think­ing and 21st Cen­tury learn­ing skills, and are ready to allow stu­dents to roll up their sleeves and get deeply into think­ing, analy­sis, ques­tions, prob­lems, and ideas, 1-to-1 can offer the facil­ity, resources and tools to make learn­ing hap­pen in deep and mean­ing­ful ways.

An impor­tant man­i­fes­ta­tion for 21st Cen­tury learn­ing today is global aware­ness and under­stand­ing. The chal­lenge is for stu­dents to embrace our new global world, develop an under­stand­ing of other cul­tures, hone skills and increase knowl­edge of other ideas and peo­ple. 1-to-1 deep­ens this because stu­dent have at their fin­ger­tips paths to research­ing, com­mu­ni­cat­ing, shar­ing and col­lab­o­rat­ing online.

A leader in global learn­ing is Lucy Gray. I’d like to invite every­one to par­tic­i­pate in a free Webi­nar all about Global Learn­ing from Lucy who heads up the Global Edu­ca­tion Con­fer­ence. It will be Wednes­day 10/24 at 1 p.m. East­ern. Please sign up here and feel free to invite others.

Hope to see you there!
