Synopsis: Julie Lindsay is a global collaboration consultant, innovator, teacherpreneur and author, and she is currently a quality learning and teaching leader (online) and an adjunct lecturer for the Faculty of Arts and Education, Charles Sturt University, Australia. 

"an outstanding work of seminal yet practical scholarship that will prove to be an enduringly useful resource for classroom teachers and school curriculum developers seeking to nurture a global learning experience for children and students"

In "The Global Educator: Leveraging Technology for Collaborative Learning and Teaching", Professor Lindsay illustrates the need for intercultural understanding and collaboration to personalize learning, achieve curriculum objectives and bring the world to our students by answering these key questions: 

• How imperative is it that educators connect themselves and their classrooms to the world? 
• What emerging education leadership styles are shifting pedagogy and why should we be taking notice of this? 
• What are the essential benefits of embedding online global collaboration into the curriculum? 
• What are simple steps that educators in the classroom can take to become more globally minded and start to change their practice? 
• How are emerging digital technologies supporting this move to online global learning and collaboration?

In addition to answering these questions, Professor Lindsay provides practical resources and powerful case studies drawn from educators and education leaders in the United States and throughout the world who are forging connections across the globe, embedding these practices into current curriculum objectives and providing their students with invaluable educational experiences

"Thoroughly 'user friendly' in composition, tone, and commentary, "The Global Educator" is unreservedly recommended for academic library Contemporary Education reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists."

Critique: Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, "The Global Educator: Leveraging Technology for Collaborative Learning and Teaching" is an outstanding work of seminal yet practical scholarship that will prove to be an enduringly useful resource for classroom teachers and school curriculum developers seeking to nurture a global learning experience for children and students.
