Ed is featured through The Global Educator for his wisdom and insights. This quote from Ed about global collaboration is one I use often when sharing with other educators.

In a recent email exchange, Ed shared these updates……

• I’m exploring the launch of something I’m calling “Virtual Volunteers for Education,” an initiative that seeks to address the power of technology to facilitate one-on-one connections between the large number of educators (retired, current, future) around the world with young people who do not have access to a quality education (due to class size, isolation, gender bias, disability, difficulty with a particular part of the curriculum (“calculus isn’t my thing”), etc.).  I wrote a Huffington Post piece on it at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/author/ed-gragert  I had a chance to share this idea in a keynote presentation at the July 2017 iEARN Conference in Marrakech, Morocco—and received very positive feedback from educators globally.
• I’ve been working to internationalize teacher education programs at several universities, using virtual exchanges among faculty and future teachers as a Board member of the GlobalTeacherEducation.org organization.
• I also have been active on a number of other issues — as reflected on my pieces on Huffington Post (see above).
• Finally, a fair amount of my time has been involved in local political organizing and activities here in NE Pennsylvania.  We’ve put together a rather large group working to oppose and reverse the current agenda in Washington, DC.
