Going Global
This document discusses preparing students to be global citizens in the 21st century. It outlines how today's students are more connected through technology and want to learn collaboratively online. It recommends helping students understand what it means to be a good citizen locally and globally. Preparing students involves teaching from a global perspective, providing knowledge and experiences of other cultures through travel if possible, and being a globally aware educator through one's own experiences and use of technology for collaboration.

- 16. First you helpthem define the term “citizen of the world”. Then you help them learn what being a good citizen means -- to themselves, to loved ones and family, to the school community, to the surrounding community. One’s actions can be directly linked to one’s values (beliefs, feelings, and actions that are important to us), so starting with a basic understanding of one’s values is essential to any meaningful discussions on citizenship. The global context is meaningless unless students are good citizens of their own nation. Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Right before oureyes, all that the education sector has controlled, dismissed, manipulated, validated, embellished, fictionalized, and ranked within an aura of tradition and ritual may be accessed by point-and- click. We need to stop chasing exponentially expanding content. Inquiry, problem recognition and solution, creativity, knowing one’s strengths and weaknesses, communication, and relationships are what students must be prepared for. Tuesday, March 24, 2009
- 18. Becoming a worldcitizen requires knowledge and experience of other cultures; U.S. schools do not provide knowledge or experience. Rather, they provide a cursory glimpse of others in order to exemplify how not to be American. “Diversity Day” does not create world citizens, it patronizes cultural difference and touts xenophobia, and always winds up pandering American culture as Eurocentrically defined. Only travel and immersion in other cultures creates world citizens. Tuesday, March 24, 2009
