DefinitionGlobalization is the integration of different world views, cultures, values, ideas, beliefs, technologies, standards, and ways of life.

Importance

Globalization is important in education because it teaches the students different ways of life, different ways of thinking, and ideas that they may have never heard before. Globalization helps students learn new concepts, cultures, and beliefs that will help them to become diverse in these areas. It will also help them to be more accepting of others and more open to changes and ideas later in life.

How It Applies to 21st Century Education

Globalization can be used to education students by:• Teaching how to be “Global Citizens”• Learning to respect and value diversity• Being a part if an interdependent

community

Examples Creating a simulated United Nations where each

student represents a different country in the United Nations

By creating a simulated United Nations every student would be assigned a different country of their choosing. One they had never heard about. They will do specific research on that countries flag and what it represents. After each student has gathered their information they will create a poster using PowerPoint an online poster and each student will present what the flag looks like and what it represents to the class.

Role of Technology

Globalization is dependent on communication technology, and communication technology is in turn dependent on globalization.
