Dear Teacher,
We are thrilled to be launching a new set of courses specifically dedicated to educating teachers in new technologies for education and English Language Teaching.
We are especially proud and pleased to announced that the course creator and tutor is no other than Nik Peachey, an edtech/ICT expert that most of you will have heard of. Nik Peachey is well-known known around the world for his great edtech blogs, writings, and presentations at international conferences where he is a keynote/plenary speaker.
Please read the brief descriptions of the two new courses we are launching in September 2012. Both courses will be delivered online on our Moodle website and require minimal knowledge of technology in order to participate. Both are flexible and can be attended whenever you have time available to read the input and complete the required tasks or participate in the discussions.

Here we have an example of how global learning will benefit students. By allowing students to "compete" amongst eachother, you allow them to have a motivation to learn something other then simply for a grade. Then the students will be able to share their work between eachother and hopefully in the end recieve a prize. of course we can't always give prizes, but there is a certain amount of pride that students will take in their work. By doing so, and being able to share their work with students who are in the same situation as them they will not only be able to sypathize with the efforts that the other students are making (because they themselves are experiencing similar issues), but they will also encourage eachother by showing how they are exploring their learnings. Allowing students to interact with eachother and share the progress they made is one of the biggest positives about global classrooms. If this is done, students can then share how they became so successful and will be able to share those techniques.
