I just wanted to update you on ONE (of many) ISTE Global Collaboration PLN initiatives for Global Collaboration Day....
Educators at all levels and from all parts of the world are invited to be part of... 
The World's Largest Global Education Collaboration and Challenge  
during ‘Global Collaboration Day, September 17, 2015.

We are looking for as many educators as possible at all levels to participate, contribute and collaborate around the theme of ‘online global collaboration’ over the 24+ hours of the collaboration (see time conversion chart).
The Challenge: “What do school/university communities and systems need to know about the benefits and processes of global collaborations for teaching and learning?  What’s the evidence and how do you do it?”
