Connected Learning Partnerships (#CLPedu)
Join our network of connected educators and learners by registering for Connected Learning Partnerships and connect with teachers and students in different countries around the world. Join us to create Connected Learning Partnerships (#CLPedu).
#CLPedu Community Program Overview
Our vision is to create opportunities for connections-based learning by establishing partnerships with teachers and schools in other countries around the world. These partnerships provide registered teachers and schools with exclusive access to other partners in the #CLPedu community. Our goal is to help teachers and students connect with one another easily, so you can focus your time on working together – not finding each other.
How is the #CLPedu different than using a service like ePals or Skype?
Global platforms like ePals and Skype are accessed by so many teachers that the registered users cannot often fulfill the hundreds of requests to connect. The #CLPedu is a new community of teachers around the world that want to connect with you. Registered teachers can be accessed by #CLPedu Community members. Every teacher who registers gains instant access to the other member teachers and schools.
What Platforms are Students using to Collaborate Online?
There are a variety of digital platforms and apps being widely used in education today:

If you are open to being connected, together we will find a platform and a way to connect! The purpose of this community is to create opportunities for teachers and students to find and connect with one another quickly and easily.

How do teachers register for the #CLPedu Community?
Interested teachers in your school may register by completing the form. Once a teacher from your school has registered, your information is automatically added to the centralized #CLPedu Community. There is no limit to the number of teachers who can register from your school. The more teachers that register, the more opportunities that are created for connected learning partnerships! The #CLPedu Community creates opportunities for timely authentic opportunities for connections-based learning.
What is expected from teachers who register?
Teachers who register are agreeing to be contacted by other teachers who are interested in collaborating with them. It will be up to each individual teacher to determine whether the request fits with his/her curriculum, schedule, etc. As a courtesy, we do ask that teachers reply to any requests they receive, even if the request does not work for the teacher at that time. The expectation is that by registering, teachers are open to connected learning partnerships and will work with others when it works for them.
