Why Globalize?
It’s not TESTED on the EOCs / EOGs….
We’re in different time zones…
I don’t have a webcam…
My kids don’t have email…
I don’t have time to learn new technology…
I’m the content expert, shouldn’t I be the one deciding what’s best for my subject.. http://www.icjpeace.org/links/
SHOULDN’T I BE AFRAID IT WILL CHANGE MY CULTURE?

WE MUST USE THEM ALL!!!!
Yeah Right…
Where to begin….
IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING…
•WE WILL LOOK AT TOOLS
•WE WILL TALK ABOUT IDEAS
•HOPEFULLY YOU WILL LEAVE WITH AN IDEA
Where To Begin…STEP ONE IS TO EXAMINE YOUR COURSE. WHAT GLOBAL OUTREACH WOULD FIT YOUR CURRICULUM, YOUR TIMEFRAME, YOUR CLASSES.
SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER…
1.DO YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT ANOTHER CULTURE OR ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN A CULTURAL EXCHANGE?2.DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER?3.IF YOU ENVISION A PROJECT WITH YOUR CLASS, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DESIRED OUTCOME.4.WILL A FAILURE TO COMPLETE A PROJECT DETER YOU FROM TRYING AGAIN NEXT YEAR?

Global Teaching Moment
http://steeleheaded.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/global-connections.jpg
The fact that our world is now so connected makes cultural exchange easier than ever before
We’re already Globally connected…. It’s just taking some longer to realize it than others"China, India, South
Korea, and Japan have invested in making sure that their kids have access to the technology and the literacy skills that they see as a key to their economic future."

Growing Up Global
Things your school can do right now……..1. Teachers can take a fresh look at their curriculum and their physical
classroom. 2. Take advantage of the experiences and perspectives of parent
volunteers, international families and staff. 3. Use tele-conferencing to “meet” children in different countries. 4. Find a partner school. 5. Discuss the origins and trading routes of products you use on a daily
basis. 6. After-school programs for everyone, not just children from affluent
families. 7. Public school districts, of varying funding capacities, can launch their own
international schools, in partnership with the community. 8. Build up your library’s resources – and go an extra mile. 9. Use outside expertise to help you.
