    This directory offers a variety of resources and teaching ideas for addressing global education issues across the school curriculum. The directory was developed by teachers from all grade levels and represents only a fraction of materials available for teaching from a global perspective.

Suggestions are offered for lesson planning, the use of country case studies, inclusion of literature and other arts in the curriculum, and the use of maps. Each section contains a bibliography related to the specific grade levels. (EH)

Top News - Six technologies soon to affect education - 0 views

  • Collaborative environments, cloud computing, and "smart" objects are among the technologies that a group of experts believes will have a profound impact on K-12 education within the next five years or sooner.
  • This is the first report we have developed with a focus on emerging technologies for elementary and secondary schools, and we hope that K-12 educators will use it as a resource for robust dialog and technology planning," said Larry Johnson, NMC's chief executive. "The technologies we identified have the power to transform teaching and learning both in the short and long term."
  • The six technologies detailed in the report are... - One year or less: collaborative environments and online communication tools - Two to three years: mobile devices and cloud computing - Four to five years: smart objects and the personal web
