How globally competent is your school, your classroom?
The Global Education Checklist poses questions on such student skills as issue analysis, problem solving, interpretation, reasoned persuasion and research/investigation.
In addition to a main matrix, the Global Competence Matrix includes six content-area matrices that identify essential skills and concepts for use in designing lessons and assessing student work.

Digital Tools
The following suggestions are fun and useful, but it is also useful to ask yourself at which level you are integrating technology: entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, or transformation. The Technology Integration Matrix helps you do that.
PADLET : A collaborative discussion board where you can pose a question and students can post their thoughts and respond to each other's posts. You could also share this with a classroom in another country to encourage cross-cultural conversation. FLIPGRID : Students respond to a topic by recording short videos that can be shared with the class or classes across the world. The link has a how-to guide. NEARPOD : Makes lessons and assessments interactive with collaboration boards, open-ended questions and polls. Choose from a library or lessons or create your own. Can be used live or as a self-paced lesson. Great for distance learning. QUIZLET : Using interactive study methods and games, students can study vocabulary in a variety of subjects and languages and can compete against each other online or in teams in the classroom. Like Kahoot, teachers can search for already created sets, or can create their own. TWITTER : Lots of global education news and chats. The link has tips from the Center for Global Education on where to look. GLOBAL ONENESS PROJECT : Provides stories, films, photos, lesson plans for connecting students to the world. It also hosts conversations with filmmakers and photographers that students can join online. |
