Globalization Chloe White, Ruth Witmer, Raquel Escareno

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

Becoming involved in community service projects or campaigns

Researching different countries and their contribution to Math and Science fields

Detailed Example

Creating a simulated United Nations where each student represents a different country in the United Nations

This can be accomplished by having each student be a different country and have them debate about different topics

They would first need to learn about their individual countries

The topic given would be war between the United States and Russia.

They would need to discuss pros and cons of war

How much it would cost

How many troops would be sent… (etc)

Role of Technology

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