The Global Read Aloud (GRA) is a 6-week project that connects students and teachers around the world through shared reading experiences. During the GRA in October, students can read from one of four book options and then discuss and collaborate with other students online or through letters. The GRA allows students to practice 21st century skills like connecting over networks and collaborating at a distance. It also benefits teachers by allowing them to network with other professionals and learn digital tools and literacy. Common technologies used include Edmodo, Kidblog, Google Drive, Skype and Twitter.
