            Abstract : 
ShowMe the world, the global education project implemented by the University of Missouri-Columbia´s College of Education (MU CoE), has created a global learning community using advanced technologies to develop and foster school/community relationships, promote cross-cultural learning and experience, and facilitate curricular change. Access to the Internet allows partner school participants to communicate through videoconferencing, digital resource exchange, and e-mail. This paper describes the project, and how it has fostered global partnerships.
