Teacher's Leadership Academy & Project Based Learning Reinforces Globaloria Objectives

I am sitting in a teacher training session about project based learning being put on by teachers who attended the teacher's leadership academy.  It may help us get others on board with the Globaloria mission and objectives.  It seems that the ideas are very much in line with the globaloria ideas.

Finishing Up August 08 Workshop - Things to remember.

We're finishing up now.  It is about 3:40 pm.  We just had a great session where we all posted questions on the educator wiki and answered them for another group.  Abbie is compiling a list of ideas for a presentation for us to do during the first faculty senate meeting.  So far, she has:

When students create accounts on the GEHS wiki, they will need an email address.  If possible, all students will need to get a Gmail account.
