I am the North American Education Community Strategist at Ultimaker, a 3D Printing company based in the Netherlands. I currently manage the Pioneer Program (educators in North America who are doing interesting things with 3D Printing and are willing to share it). One Pioneer, Rich Lehrer, is interested in creating a Global Problem bank to connect students and help solve problems through design.
Anyone interested in collaborating with Rich and Ultimaker on this project?

I'm here with wevideo.com, an online video platform used by over 8 million students worldwide. Two of the schools within our network - in Norway and Nevada - recently set up a digital storytelling collaboration, whereby students and teachers from both schools created videos describing their schools, lives, and communities. We are looking to learn from such grassroots efforts and scale them to our network

We felt that the online resources and tools that are available are sufficient but what is missing is the ability to connect Global educators that have shared mission and vision. Having the ability to go to one place and have visibility into Global interests across schools and classrooms in one place where you can safely and securely connect and match up based on your interests and vision.

Where to find global projects/educators

Know what is out there

Inspired by other examples

How to overcome challenges/fear?

How can we trust others? How

Protocols

How to create a strong visible presence

Variety of scope of projects

How do you find the tools and resources

How do you structure project based learning?

How to develop a global mindset

How to fit it into the content that has to be covered by the curriculum?

How can teachers understand the real power of global education? Get them to understand what they are missing.

Tools that can be used for global education

I've heard a number of teachers who have never done this say they fear "Who is this other teacher? or "Are they really a teacher?" If you are not used to these projects it is a mental leap. My magic wand would remove the fear so the teachers could experience the benefit and excitement.

I'd encourage an open-mind towards standards and methods for assessment. We don't want curriculum standards to interfere with teachers connecting students to collaborate on real-world problems. The most transformative learning and understandings might not fit nicely on a rubric.
