This document discusses globalization and its importance in education. It defines globalization as the interaction and integration of people, companies, and governments across different nations. Globalization can help rebuild failing education systems by sharing ideas between countries. Technologies like Skype, Facebook, and YouTube allow students to communicate globally and learn different perspectives. This promotes globalization and prepares students for globally-oriented careers by teaching skills like communicating across cultures and comparing local and global events.
