• What does this mean for Learning Landscapes in the 21st C?

Establishing a Globally Connected Learning Community
http://langwitches.org/blog/2010/10/30/becoming-a-globally-connected-teacher/
Considerations: How is global awareness and education important to NZ
students?
How do we effectively develop the focus on Global Awareness/Global Competencies in our crowded curriculum?
How effectively do we infuse culture BEYOND food, music, games, festivals, language or art?
What do we need to do as educators in order to implement a globally connected learning environment?
Adapted from questions developed by Silvia Tolisano http://langwitches.org/blog/2010/10/30/becoming-a-globally-connected-teacher/
Global Competencies
http://www.edsteps.org/CCSSO/DownloadPopUp.aspx?url=SampleWorks/Matrix_Print_Apr8.pdf
Global Citizenship
Big Idea
The qualities of citizenship affect the global "footprint" we create now and in our future world.
1. Identify goal?
2. Identify problem/s to solve
3. Critical Skills to be applied
Potential Global Collaborations and Connections
How will you:
Investigate the world
Recognise Perspective
Communicate Ideas
Take Action
How could you use these to engage the global community (chose one)

Lessons Learned……. Before our learners can be globally connected we MUST be!
We do not need to know it ALL!
Let our LEARNERS LEAD
Change IS happening….we must be a part of the changes.
Forget the tools and think about SKILLS – then select the most appropriate approaches – or let the Learners chose those with relevance and purpose
Its not as hard as it looks!
FAILURE is an essential LEARNING OPPORTUNITY
