This lesson was made using Sustainable development goal #16, Peace (promotes understanding of others) and Justice (advocating for others, this can lead into sub lessons using debates as well about different resources) as a guide.
Students will explore what it means to be a global citizen by researching classrooms around the world and noting similarities and differences.

Procedure
Procedure
Students will be actively engaged throughout the implementation of the Nearpod activity.
Students are asked to respond to several collaborative boards and open-ended questions where they are required to write what they know and wonder about children around the world.
Utilizing interdependence, students need to depend on others and vice-versa. This promotes collaboration, which is under the umbrella of UNSDG’s that we are working into our classrooms.
Students will participate in virtual field trips to view classrooms around the world.
Finally, once students complete a form comparing and contrasting classrooms, they will use a hyperdoc to propose their own specialized classroom.

Reflection
Reflection
This activity offered several opportunities for self reflection. Through the many examples of technology and the impact on people today, students were able to draw conclusions and make connections. Students enjoyed working in groups to brainstorm and create an original classroom that exemplifies the reality of what type of classroom would be best be suited for individual needs based on what they learned about classroom settings around the world.
