The document discusses how teachers can become globally connected educators and prepare students for an increasingly global and interconnected future. It notes that many young Americans lack basic geographic and world knowledge. It argues that global awareness requires understanding connections between countries and issues, recognizing different perspectives, communicating ideas, and taking action through projects like blogging, pen pals, and participating in global conferences.
