  • 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.

    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.

    Skype is user-friendly, free video chat software that in recent years has become wildly popular for long-distance communication, be it with college students studying abroad who want to keep in contact with friends and family back in their home country or for international business correspondence.

    This is a straightforward article we often see about 'uses in the classroom'. Professionally, there are many useful examples about how to use Skype: Connecting with international classrooms, guest lecturers, interviews, and other examples. The idea of a guest lecturer is appealing. I have used it before to connect my students with classrooms around the world.

    Actually Sam posted this site originally. Not sure why I was unable to repost it here without showing that he shared it first. Anyway, there are basic words and phrases like greetings and cultural etiquette given for different countries.
