In those inaugural comments, I made a first attempt to outline what
global education is. I said, “A global education is much more than
studying abroad or developing exchange programs. It is an education
that ensures that students will be able to succeed in a world marked by
interdependence, diversity and rapid change. A global education is one
that provides knowledge and understanding of cultures, languages,
geography and global perspectives. Most importantly, a global education
is one that enables students to understand their roles in a global
community and teaches them how their actions can affect citizens
throughout the world.” I also might add that it demonstrates how events
around the world can affect students in their own lives and therefore
cannot be ignored

"The efforts of the Connect All Schools consortium and like-minded programs, such as Flat Classroom, Edmodo, Twitter chats, Global Read Aloud Day, Skype in the Classroom, Microsoft's Partners in Learning, Global Classroom Scrapbook Project, and the Intel Teach Program, have vastly increased the diversity and number of students gaining global awareness and empathy beyond what would be possible through study abroad alone. Still, only small fraction of U.S. K-12 students currently have access to some kind of international experience, whether physical or virtual."
