Learn about Global Education
Getting started with global education can be overwhelming. There are
many resources available, but it's really tough to know where to
begin. In this section, I want to share just a few of my favorite
resources and ideas. I've used many of the resources myself and am
including notes on my experiences.
Digital tools are an amazing
asset for anyone wanting to incorporate global education into
their lessons. I'm fortunate to teach in a school with 1-to-1
Chromebooks, which makes utilization of these resources even
easier. Here are a few of my favorite resources and how I've used
them in my classroom.

cultural differences, and take responsible
action for the benefit of both local and global
communities.
