Online education offers new opportunities to connect students across borders in engaging and interactive ways. The Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education (SPICE) at Stanford University offers two online courses—one to students in the United States, and one to students in Japan—and connects the two student cohorts to develop global competence and diverse perspectives on the United States, Japan, and U.S.–Japan relations. In this webinar, course instructors will provide an overview of these programs, and students of each class will share their own perspectives and experiences. Participants will learn about how SPICE is using online teaching to connect students globally, and are encouraged to share their own experiences and suggestions for enhancing the online educational experience for globally-connected students.

Mozilla Learning is excited to host an Internet of Things discussion with an all-day tweet chat! Hosted by @MozTeach, and using #TTWchat, we’ll post one question per hour (for a total of 10 questions) starting at 9am EST/ 1pm UTC/ 3pm CSET/ 6:30pm IST. Jump in and out of the discussion, and participate when it makes sense for you and your time zone. 

Here are a few examples of questions we’ll be discussing during the chat: 

     What does “user control” mean for you? How do we have agency using connected devices in our homes? 
     Experimenting with Internet of Things can be frustrating. How do you encourage learning through mistakes? 
     What role should “openness” play when making and using Internet of Things? 

 You can watch an archive of our earlier Internet of Things events here: Mozilla Curriculum Workshop (http://mzl.la/curriculumworkshop) and Mozilla Learning Community Call (http://mzl.la/comcall).
