The following inventory captures current trends and technology used in global education and available at our school. Here are the top five suggested Digital Tools to use in the Classroom...
- Podcast: Have students listen to global education podcasts - like UNICEF. Have students create a podcast discussing global issues. Their choice of music and words will have an impact on how the listener interprets the message.
- Video Equipment: Make a public service announcement about global issues informing the public on what we can do to impact decision making. Have students submit their PSA's to World of 7 Billion contest!
- Skype: What better way to learn about the world than to skype real time with classrooms around the world! Digital Pen Pals!
- Global News: Stay up to date on what is happening in the world with an online newspaper! Choose a newspaper from an interactive map!
- Twitter: Start a classroom twitter account and get up to the minute information from handles such as @ONEcampaign, or @WomenintheWorld, while teaching proper and responsible use of social media!
