The Association of American Geographers (AAG) is heading up an exciting program (MyCOE Global Connections and Exchange Program) for U.S. high school teachers/classrooms to connect with teachers and students from countries abroad through virtual online meetings. These meetings are arranged through online video conferences, online phone calls and chat sessions using Skype. The purpose of these meetings is to stimulate thinking and collaboration between high school students across international borders around sustainable development themes such as climate change, green economy, food security and hazards and vulnerability, while enriching cultural literacy. The AAG is looking for formal and informal educators in the U.S., at the high school level, who would like to participate.
