Welcome to my blog, I’m Kia.

I was going back and forth on choosing a article for my first blog. Here I have outlined what I believe is a great opening to my blog and to set the mood for future posts. #globaleducation

This is an article that introduces a new idea of how to teach students in an isolated area about other places, cultures, and more. The author is Michelle E. Carton, and her idea is to bring to the classroom bits and pieces of the world that students don’t get to see first-hand. http://www.ascd.org/ascd-express/vol15/num01/global-citizenship-education-for-every-classroom.aspx

Michelle dives right into ways teachers can add GCE to their classrooms and how they can work GCE into their lesson plans.

There are multiple platforms students can utilize to become global citizens and learn about and with other students in a different country, county, or city!

Students that are global citizens have the opportunity to see the world through someone else’s eyes, become more empathetic, and learn ways to make our world last longer by learning from others.

Check out this short clip to get an idea of the benefits of global citizenship education.
