Workshops
Building Global and Cultural Awareness K-12
Learn about strategies to increase your student’s global and cultural understanding through the use of technology tools that allow you to communicate and collaborate with classes around the globe! Ideas and resources will be shared and time will be given for hands-on exploration of some simple tools for communication and collaboration. Some of the tools to be highlighted include Skype in the Classroom, ePals, Google Hangouts, and Twitter.
Develop a Global Mindset in Your Students
with Dr. Michael Roth
What if you could help your students to think globally? In this session, participants will learn about how other schools and districts are addressing the college and career ready need for global competence in our youth, as well as have an opportunity to apply a design thinking framework to begin planning for students. Presenters will present the findings from the report “Educating for Global Competence: Preparing Our Youth to Engage in the World” and provide concrete practices to achieve these results.
