"It′s a fact that not just our children, but all of us are global
learners. So, equipping global educators who are comfortable
navigating rapidly shifting digital platforms is vital. Mark Barnes
cogently shows this in 5 Skills for the Global
Learner, where the emphasis is on building digital skills and
digital literacy. This book is a great addition to the Connected
Educator′s toolkit."

Global Education Toolkit for Elementary Learners (Corwin)*
"Educators, parents, and businesses around the world wonder if we
are preparing today’s youth for the challenges they will face
tomorrow in our interconnected world. Both new and experienced
teachers will appreciate these 5 essential skills that encourage
communication and collaboration throughout the digital world. As a
teacher and advocate of global education, I believe these resources
and tips launch the foundation our students need for the 21st
century."

"As of now there are about 20 books in the Corwin Connected
Educator Series, a seemingly ever-growing set of titles
masterminded by Peter DeWitt and Corwin Press. Each book is
short enough to be read in one sitting, which makes the collection
ideal for book studies and professional development, both during
the summer and throughout the school year. Also, each paperback is
authored by one or two educators who speak (and blog, tweet, etc.)
with a credible voice in the world of connected education. Some of
the topics include:
Flipped leadership
Tools for connecting educators, parents, and communities
Blogging for educators
Best practices for establishing a makerspace
Tools to connect and empower teachers Finally, all of the authors
are active on social media, and they regularly present at local
conferences, which helps in bringing to life the contents of these
books."
