What is Global Learn Day?
Global Learn Day
is the breathtaking initiative of the
Benjamin
Franklin Institute of Global Education. The institute
promotes distance education and technology in the conviction
that such undertakings will accelerate learning achievement
through affordable application of new tools and innovative
pedagogic practices.Global Learn
Day is now in it's eighth year...a round the world "voyage" that
showcases extraordinary people doing exceptional work in all 24
time zones. We open the event in the South Pacific - where the
planet begins the new day - and then we travel west with "stops"
in several dozen locations to learn what others are doing to
advance learning in their part of the globe.
Global SchoolNet has supported this
undertaking from the start and is proud to be a "lead player"
and co-organizer of
Global Learn Day VIII.

How does Global Learn Day work?
A combination of web-based
applications and POTS (plain old telephone) is used. Each
presenter provides a web-based profile that includes information
about their topic, images URLS, and web-based slideshows.
- Panelists call in via
telephone to make their audio presentations via
Talking Communities
- Audio presentations are supplemented with
web-based slides
- Audience
listens via the Internet and can submit questions to the
panelist via chat/email or audio
- Both the web portion and audio portion of
the presentations are archived for future playback by anyone
with a web browser
