The purpose of this research is to document and analyse the experiences of K-12 educators who are implementing online global collaboration and to describe pedagogical approaches that may be influencing pedagogical change. Online global collaboration broadly refers to educators using digital technologies to connect students with others beyond their immediate learning environment for collaborative outcomes. Online technologies provide new ways of connecting and collaborating with others and it is educators’ beliefs about and practices with the use of educational technology that will be explored to analyse how these influence their engagement with online global collaboration. Project/event directions for participation: Educators who teach K-12 levels from across the world who are implementing online global collaboration are invited to complete this online survey. Access one of the URLs as a starting point - this will lead you to the online survey. Completion of this survey will take approximately 30-40 minutes (if all parts are completed).

The Tower of Babel is a well-known story that portrays the challenge that multilingual communication can create. This story provided the inspiration for the name given to Babelium, a project that is promoted and co-funded by the European Commission within the Leonardo da Vinci frame of the Lifelong Learning Programme. Nowadays the need to speak a second language is becoming more of a necessity in our multicultural society. Babelium has been developed to address this need and promote language learning. Babelium is a collaborative platform to practice your second language oral skills using interactive videos. Using Babelium is quite simple What are our aims? Language skills can be essential when dealing with foreign clients and colleagues. Students doing an Erasmus or internship abroad also need these skills. Moreover, speaking the language of a country can make visiting it much more rewarding and can sometimes be vital for circumstances when we are in need of help. With this in mind, we want to make your learning of languages easier and more efficient by developing an online resource that can be adapted to fit your schedule. This resource can also be used as an additional tool for language teachers who want to make their classes more interesting and varied. In both cases Babelium focuses on developing oral expression skills in language learning. Who can use Babelium? Babelium is for anyone who wants or needs to improve their oral language skills. It can also be used by language teachers seeking an efficient tool to aid their students’ learning. Using an open and free license Babelium and all the video-exercises developed are available to everyone, including: • Managers and employees who need to deal with foreign clients and workers • Students who need to prepare for an internship or study abroad • Immigrants who want to integrate quickly into their new community • People of all ages who want to travel abroad and learn more about different cultures by communicating with the local people in their language • Teachers and trainers looking for an effective didactic tool to help develop speaking skills. This programme is designed to be used by anyone who wants to practice speaking the language they are learning. As we all know: we can only learn to speak by speaking! So try it out and discover what Babelium can do for you! Let your staff or students know! How does it work? You will need a computer that is equipped with a microphone (and, optionally, with a webcam). Many of us now have this technology at home. For instructions access: http://babeliumproject.com/gcd.html Once you log in, you can start working with people you know, for example, your teacher and fellow students, or you can meet new people on the platform. These people may be native or non-native speakers but they will all be there to learn and will help you towards achieving your own learning objectives.
