Cathy Collins writes, "Global collaboration projects, which allow students to work with peers across geographical boundaries, aren't just interesting, engaging, and fun. They also address several of the ISTE Standards for Students, including 'Digital Citizen,' 'Global Collaborator,' and 'Empowered Learner.' Each year, a wide range of global education projects are demonstrated during the MassCUE Global Ed and CUE Kids student showcases, allowing Massachusetts students to take the lead in sharing about their work, thereby highlighting their ownership of the learning process and the role of student voice in successful learning outcomes. 

Providing opportunities for global collaboration not only engages students, it also builds cultural understanding and empathy and helps with development of important communication and problem-solving skills. This year, student projects focus on civic engagement and social justice; leadership development through global service and STEM/STEAM learning; and international travel and exchange programs.
