In this week’s readings from The Global Educator, I got the chance to read about multiple case studies that involved global collaborative efforts, and the many forms they come in. I chose two that stuck out to me to do a little write up about because they really highlighted just how global learning is. The case studies helped show that sometimes global collaborative learning does not always go exactly how you would think and that it can come in many forms.
The two I chose to write about seemed perfect in my opinion, simply because they were so different. The first I wrote about was a man navigating through Asia, trying to make it to a face-to-face event. Here, he runs into many trials and tribulations before finally making it to his event. He was honored to have met many of the great educational professionals in his field of education technology. This really highlights the GLOBAL in Global Collaboration. On the flip side, the second case study is more about the impact a global educator can make locally. Larisa uses educational technology to bridge the gap between STEM degrees and STEM jobs. Coming out of college can be extremely tough. Most students do not know where to turn to find work. Larisa’s program aims to help students find jobs in their field. These two case studies show how global collaborative efforts can affect anyone, and how these efforts can be USEFUL for all. From a businessman traveling the world to a college student just starting out in their field.
