<p>Emerging technologies are enabling exciting and innovative ways to connect, collaborate and create with others across the world. <a href="http://www.murcha.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Anne Mirtschin</a>, a secondary teacher of a small rural prep to year 12 school in, Hawkesdale, Australia and <a href="http://earth.edublogs.org" target="_blank">Lorraine Leo</a> a primary teacher in a larger school in Boston, USA met on Classroom2.0 and shared each a passion for global education and immersing technology in the classroom.</p>
<div class="ff3"><span class="a">Their classes have been able to connect successfully in both synchronous and asynchronous </span><span class="a">times. A variety of tools have been used for connecting and collaborating. From simple emailing of </span><span class="a">images for classroom use, collaborative voicethreads, google docs, videoconferencing etc through </span><span class="a">to the empowering virtual classroom (DiscoverE and Blackboard Collaborate) where </span><span class="a">students have shared festivals, their passions, location etc in real time. These virtual classrooms </span><span class="a">have included a blend of different age groups, from 5 to 86 year olds, a mix of educational tiers eg </span><span class="a">students, teachers, university professors, research scientists, pre-service teachers and a mix of </span>participants from up to five continents in the one e-classroom.</div>
<div class="ff3">Read the chapter to discover more about this four year old friendship and the way it has impacted on their classrooms and learning within and beyond those classrooms. </div>

<div class="ff3">Do you see this as a typical classroom of the future and something that can be achieved by many? Have you used similar or different tools for connecting and collaborating on a global scale? Do you have experiences to share with us. How important do you see global education to be? How can innovative use of technology empower learning further?</div>
