Epals and Me
The idea of being interconnected in this great world we live in has never been more important.
"The Way We Are" could be a great way for the students not only to understand more about those who are different than they are, but help them understand why they do what they do. Self-exploration is imperative to a well-balanced and well-rounded education. It is definitely a good place to start off the year with a class full of freshmen who are in the midst of self-discovery and awakening.
I would also use "Digital Storytelling" as an English teacher. It is a means to get the students involved in cultural pieces where they can build on the visual and create a story. These stories can then be shared with others in the class and with those around the world.

Those two features sound like excellent vehicles for global collaboration.
