    Tony Jackson describes what the American education system needs to leapfrog from its current status today, to one of innovation and effectiveness, especially as it prepares children for a global future. (00:15:29)

    This video presentation by Tony Jackson is one I think educators need to view. He speaks about how we need to help our kids be globally competent by doing four things: 1) Kids need to investigate the world by asking questions that are globally significant. 2) Our kids need to recognize the perspectives of others in the world. 3) Our kids need to be able to communicate ideas to others in the world through technology, media, and nonverbal and verbal means. 4)Our kids need to understand that they can change the world with their knowledge and contributions.

    Simple Structures: The late Hilda Taba, noted social studies educator and curriculum developer, always emphasized that "kids need categories," or "pigeon-holes," if you will, into which they can fit new facts, concepts and ideas. Abundant learning theory supports this. The fact is that most teachers also appreciate having some simple structures with which to work.

  • The multi-cultural setting of international education lends itself to a more natural development of global citizenship
  • The second tool that can be used to advance these ideals is through the use of digital technology. For years, sites have offered classrooms the opportunity to link up with other classrooms in order to learn about each other’s cultures and countries, but the current trend is to take these partnerships beyond the traditional “what is life like in your country?” model.
  • Carl Spilles on 08 Apr 14
     
    I found this article highly connected to our topic about global empathy. After years of working in international schools, the setting is a great model I wish more people could experience. At a school with over 50 nationalities, students can't help but feel empathy when one of their classmates is effected by events back in their home country. The article also addresses the topic of digital technology to enhance the interenational school experience.

  • “Convincing others of the importance of global citizenship…push back from others who do not value global education. Another challenge is the amount of time and flexibility that is required to conduct and sustain global projects without them fizzling out over time.”

      such a challenge, yet well-worth the undertaking
  • global education includes projects which incorporate exchange with classrooms across the world; traveling abroad with students; organizing middle school students’ participation in a junior Model United Nations national conference in New York City; hosting students and teachers from various countries, such as Spain, Germany and China; and volunteering in Costa Rica for three weeks to run an afterschool technology program.

By framing the world population as a community of 100 people, we help students to better understand the complex issues facing our planet and the resources we share.

  • using ePals’ services to connect schools, classes, and students, especially in support of language acquisition.
  • I use ePals as one example that I encourage teachers of all disciplines to investigate, because the global connections it provides support multiple content areas and learning goals.
  • ePals may best be known for successfully connecting classrooms from across the world so students (and teachers) can learn from each other and gain a better understanding the nuances of culture, society, politics, and exploring everything from what kids in other countries do for fun,
  • ePals has connected more than 600,000 classrooms
  • Students can communicate with other students from across the globe on a range of topics that they find interesting, from the impression of Justin Bieber’s hairstyle to the impact cheating has on schoolwork.
