Why Globalize?
It’s not TESTED on the EOCs / EOGs….
We’re in different time zones…
I don’t have a webcam…
My kids don’t have email…
I don’t have time to learn new technology…
I’m the content expert, shouldn’t I be the one deciding what’s best for my subject..

SHOULDN’T I BE AFRAID IT WILL CHANGE MY CULTURE?
Why Globalize? http://blog.zajigirl.com/.a/6a00e54f81db27883301310fb23393970c-800wi

How Scary Is This? Sun Oct 17, 11:50 AM ET German Chancellor Angela Merkel, pictured in Potsdam on Saturday at a conference of younger members her Christian Democratic Union party, told the meeting that Germany's attempts to create a multi-cultural society in which people from various cultural backgrounds live together peacefully have failed. (AFP/Bernd Settnik) Angela Merkel Says German Multiculturalism has Failed http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/German-Chancellor-Angela-Merkel-pictured-Potsdam-Saturday-conference-younger-members/photo//101017/photos_ts_wl_afp/e7b70ad53c28f8a2fc003e123cd59069/print

Staggering Amount of Information Available http://electronicportfolios.com/web2/class/web-2.0-concept.jpg And this was almost five years ago!

WE MUST USE THEM ALL!!!! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3009/2735401175_fcdcd0da03_b.jpg Yeah Right…

Where to begin….
IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING…
WE WILL LOOK AT TOOLS
WE WILL TALK ABOUT IDEAS
HOPEFULLY YOU WILL LEAVE WITH AN IDEA

Where To Begin…
STEP ONE IS TO EXAMINE YOUR COURSE. WHAT GLOBAL OUTREACH WOULD FIT YOUR CURRICULUM, YOUR TIMEFRAME, YOUR CLASSES.
SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER…
DO YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT ANOTHER CULTURE OR ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN A CULTURAL EXCHANGE?
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER?
IF YOU ENVISION A PROJECT WITH YOUR CLASS, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DESIRED OUTCOME.
WILL A FAILURE TO COMPLETE A PROJECT DETER YOU FROM TRYING AGAIN NEXT YEAR?

http: //steeleheaded .files. wordpress .com/2009/04/global-connections.jpg The fact that our world is now so connected makes cultural exchange easier than ever before

We’re already Globally connected…. It’s just taking some longer to realize it than others
"China, India, South Korea, and Japan have invested in making sure that their kids have access to the technology and the literacy skills that they see as a key to their economic future."

Give your kids voice… and help them hear the voice of people so different yet so similar.
How about exchanging cultural stories with students from another country and together publishing a book.
