JDO Foundation for Global Collaboration

Our mission is to provide an enriched educational experience for U.S. and international classrooms (students aged 8-14 years) by providing state of the art technologies if needed, and professional training to the educators managing these technologies. JDO facilitates global collaboration among partner schools to enable students to be accomplished, well-informed digital citizens. The JDO Global Partnership Program matches international partner teachers and provides a framework to build co-curricular lesson plans that will inspire creative and innovative collaborative learning experiences for students. Students collaborate weekly through email and Google Classroom; they also connect monthly in a live setting. The JDO Global Partnership Program for collaboration currently includes 75 partner schools worldwide and impacts over 4,200 students! Our partner schools are currently located in the U.S., Iceland, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Italy, Finland, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Macedonia, Croatia, Poland, Uganda, Ghana, and India.
