TEDTalks to Share with Your Students That Explain Global Citizenship

TED Talk: Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From; Ask Where I’m a Local

This TED Talk challenges us to think about the assumptions we often make when we find out where people are "from."

I FIND THIS TEDTalk TO BE MOST INSIGHTFUL. TEENAGERS WILL GAIN INSIGHT FROM THE SPEAKER AS WELL AS TEACHERS.

TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES FOR GLOBALIZING YOUR CLASSROOM

This resource contains six categories with well-developed lesson plan ideas in each: Education for Global Citizenship, Global Citizenship in the Classroom, Teaching Controversial Issues, and Math, English, and Science and Global Citizenship

WHAT IS ESPECIALLY VALUABLE ABOUT THIS RESOURCE IS THAT IT PROVIDES VARIETY AND SPECIFICITY. THE LESSONS LAUNCH TEACHERS INTO GLOBAL EDUCATION, WHILE THE DIVERSITY OF LESSONS MAKES IT EASY FOR TEACHERS TO ADAPT THEM TO THEIR OWN CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENTS.

EdSteps Global Competence Matrix

This tool is especially helpful for associating global competence to standards.

Suggestion: When working on standards, keep these FOUR QUESTIONS in mind:

In my lesson/unit, are students investigating the world?

Broadening their perspective?

Developing communication skills (through technology)?

Are they inspired to take action?

These four questions are the core of global competence and should be the foundation of all assessments.
