Things to think about when selecting a global partner:
 * What is my vision, and does the other teacher(s) share it? What does the potential partner hope to gain from working with us?
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What is my time frame? Will this be a one-time project with a set deadline or an ongoing initiative?
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How does my partner feel about deadlines and corresponding in a timely manner? Will he or she communicate chiefly through email or phone calls? How much time is my potential partner willing to devote to the project?
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What is my potential partner’s experience with technology? Is he or she willing to learn and apply new applications for collaborative projects?
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What are the technology limitations or restrictions in my potential partner’s classroom, school, or district?
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What kind of guidelines does my potential partner have regarding student privacy, safety, or posting student work?
