The Global Classroom Project connects educators and students from over 40 countries to collaborate on educational projects and share knowledge through various online platforms. It is led by two organizers and has over 430 educator members and several thousand participating students. Past projects focused on topics like seasons around the world, women's history, and the Holocaust. Educators are encouraged to join ongoing projects, start new ones, or participate in the monthly Twitter chats to connect classrooms globally and promote learning with international partners. Support is provided to help educators innovate through international collaboration.
