Global School-to-School Connections: A Resource

Connect All Schools looks like a terrific resource for connecting students around the world. This non-profit organization's goal is an ambitious one: To connect every school in the U.S. with at least one other school somewhere in the world—through virtual (and other) exchanges by 2016.

Their website provides a narrative description of projects underway and an interactive map that allows the reader to search by participating U.S. school and by country of partnership. Three partnerships with Kenyan schools are noted, all involving participation in "Computer Chronicles," a global learning circle program facilitated by iEARN-USA, the International Education and Resource Network:
Cameron High School, OH, Grades 7-12, Cameron, WV
Fishers Island School, PK-Grade 12, Fishers Island, NY
The John Muir School, PK-Grade 12, San Diego, CA
Thanks to Lucy Gray (@elemenous), independent consultant and co-chair of the Global Education Conference, for bringing Connect All Schools to our attention via Twitter.
