Welcome students and teachers.

One World Classroom is a collaborative effort where you are given the control over how it looks and what information it contains. To this end, we need teachers, course designers, web designers, graphic designers, podcast producers, promoters, and a whole slew of other people to make this site worthwhile. Just sign up for a new account, then Contact us today with your ideas.

Are you an Authority?

Are you a teacher, tutor, or other authority? If so we would like to team up with you. It is my hope that One World Classroom will continue to grow and become an authoritative resource for teachers and students alike. I have always envisioned One World Classroom as a community where people of like mind can get together and share strategies, resources, and even war stories; a place where you can get together with friends and share ideas. A good community is one where new content from any sources is added frequently. No matter how hard I work, though, I can't do it alone, I need your help.

Our need for informative content is pretty much endless and we welcome submissions of basically anything related to language study. Some of the items I am interested in are articles, links to your favorite sites (and your reviews of those sites), lesson plans, activities, news, word-of-the-day (we have a script to manage these), grammar lessons, cultural information, and personal insights. I am certainly open to any ideas you may have.

How much does this gig pay?

Unfortunately I can't really afford to pay for content. You may have notice that we do place advertising banners throughout the site, and I do occasionally receive a check from an advertiser for referral fees or sales, but rarely do these checks offset the expense of running this site. What you will get from your contributions is full credit and links back to your site or e-mail. My policies on what you say about your ventures on and off the one World Classroom Site is fairly liberal, so if done tastefully you can gain quite a bit of free advertising space for your own projects or services.

How do I apply?

Simply send the Webmaster an e-mail detailing what you would like to contribute and telling me a little bit about yourself.

The Peace Package

If you could give the world a token of your friendship, what would it be?

This seems like a simple question, doesn't it? How often do most of us think about the world around us, though? I know when I was in high school my idea of the world was the map on the wall in the history classroom and it meant very little to me, except that I might like to vacation in Greece, Germany, or Asia one day. I thought very little about what was in between the tourist spots on the map; it was no more than a collection of interesting cities to me. Since high school I have travelled to a few of the places in between those cities, and it's nothing like I expected it would be. Seeing the cities on the map was strangely different from meeting the people in and around those cities.

So, what is the peace package about, exactly? It's about people. It's an attempt to realize that China is not just a mass on a map, but rather it is over one billion people living their lives the best they can; or that Egypt isn't just where the pyramids are, but a sometimes harsh place where man meets desert. Most of all, it's about friendship.

The Peace Package is a collection of ideas, photographs and artifacts that tell or show what students from around the world would give as a token of their friendship. We welcome everyone to add their thoughts to this wiki. We also encourage you to use the idea of the Peace Package in your classrooms, as a group project for your students, or as an individual task.
