"The Globally Competent Student
Sandra L. Russo and Leigh Ann Osborne
What characteristics would a globally competent
student possess? What
does this student know
upon graduation day that a student wi
thout this sort of education
does not? For some students, all
or most of these characteristics are ones that s/he will find ways to develop even if the resources
are lacking. For others, they must
be convinced of the need to develop global competence. It is
the charge of the administrators who decide, th
e faculty who teach, the
legislators who fund, and
the potential employers [private se
ctor leaders] who motivate, to
leave no doubts in the student's
mind about the importance of becoming a globa
lly competent student. Our objective, as
NASULGC institutions, is to de
velop globally competent undergr
aduate and graduate students
who will become globally competent citizens. "

Developed through an extensive process of consultation, the Department has established its first-ever fully articulated international strategy for 2012-2016. The strategy is designed to simultaneously advance two strategic goals: strengthening U.S. education and advancing our nation's international priorities. The strategy reflects the value and necessity of:
A world-class education for all students;
Global competencies for all students;
International benchmarking and applying lessons learned from other countries; and
Education diplomacy and engagement with other countries.

The Original online adventure games were text adventure games in which you were faced with puzzles and obstacles to overcome to complete your quest. They existed only on large corporate or academic mainframe computers in the 1970s. In the early 1980s these intriguing games became available to a much wider audience as classic adventures such as 'The Hobbit' fuelled sales of the first home computers such as the Commodore 64 and the Sinclair Spectrum. Since then online adventure games have evolved into multiuser games (generically known as MUDS) and are infinitely more challenging than the original adventure game designers could ever have dreamed. Many players share the same environment and adventure alongside you or compete against you as the whim takes them. The linear nature of the old adventure games has now mostly disappeared and the best of the new generation of online text adventure games are multi-dimensional in their game play and may be better described, perhaps, as interactive novels - often without end. A few highly commercial multiuser graphical adventures games are also now available, but they tend to lack depth and none are yet rated here.
A learning philosophy that I think goes hand in hand with any project styled learning situation. a constructivist approach to early education. "Reggio Emilia's approach does challenge some conceptions of teacher competence and developmentally appropriate practice. For example, teachers in Reggio Emilia assert the importance of being confused as a contributor to learning; thus a major teaching strategy is purposely to allow mistakes to happen, or to begin a project with no clear sense of where it might end."
Big RE fan..Your comment makes me think: Any examples of teachers working with kids on themes similar to the ones we're talking about? I'll snoop around a little.
