Teaching about Global Issues

I have just finished my second MOOC on the issue of Teaching and Learning about Refugees : we have shared a lot of ideas on line and we have used the same tool for a lesson plan which we have shared.

Here is my learning diary which I have created by using a new tool, SWAY, but which was not the right one as I wanted to add a lot of information and I could not use all the videos and images as I have a free account. I have emdedded a Google presentation for week 2.

This is the video which I am going to use in the lesson plan:

Faceless, Forgotten - A film on the European refugee crisis from Paul Bates on Vimeo.
