THINK Global School (TGS) is the world's first traveling boarding school. Going beyond a study abroad program, TGS transplants the entire student body, faculty and administration to a new country each semester. The four year high school program empowers students with a once-in-a-lifetime international experience while studying a rigorous curriculum. The coursework follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, with a culmination in the IB examination at the end of year four. Throughout their studies, TGS students visit significant historical, cultural, and scientific sites; all while building new skills and relationships on a global scale.
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) represents educators globally in improving learning and teaching through the effective use of technology.
ISTE is an ongoing supporter and partner of Flat Classroom Conference and Live Events Inc. At the original conference in 2009 ISTE led the Leadership Workshop and ran sessions on leading for the use of technology in the classroom as well as looking at standards across the curriculum in technology for students, teachers and administrators.
