Teaching Global Citizenship: Moving Beyond Facebook Friends and Skype." - Linking up with the another classroom around the globe? Want to create an experiential learning environment to help students become global citizens? Try these techniques to make the connections more meaningful. Create a profound learning opportunity for students by problem solving "real" world issues: communication, technical issues, media bias and group dynamics. Using tools like padlet, chalkup and seesaw students learn to handle the stickiness of national agendas, the media and misinformation can create by working online together and exploring current events from different views.
