With offerings in 13 languages, TakingITGlobal was awarded the Intercultural Innovation Award from BMW and UNAOC, and the Tech Museum Award in Education for Technology Benefiting Humanity.

“We’ve been eager participants in the GEC community from day one, and have been so impressed with Lucy and Steve’s leadership in this field” commented Michael Furdyk, Director of Innovation at TakingITGlobal. “With the increasing profile of fostering global competence in education, we’re so pleased to be working together to grow and strengthen this key professional learning community over the coming years.”

GlobalEd Events is series of events designed to bring together and support the global education community via educational technology. Starting in 2010, the co-founders, Lucy Gray and Steve Hargadon, have maintained an online community with over 25,000 members and produced innovative physical and virtual events for global educators and organizations. These happenings have included the online Global Education Conference, Global Education Day, Global Collaboration Day, Global Leadership Week, and the Global Student Conference.
