Pinhey, Laura A.
The Internet is an important resource for K-12 global education teachers. Developments over the past two decades have increased the media exposure of nations and interactions among them in politics, trade, education, science, medicine, entertainment, and athletics. Good global education curriculum encourages understanding of cultural differences and similarities, tolerance, and a globally interdependent view of the world. Curriculum guides, lesson plans, government documents, conference proceedings, databases, photographs, and multimedia files to support the classroom teacher's mission of good global education can be supplemented by a variety of materials available through global education World Wide Web sites. This ERIC Digest provides an annotated list of 15 World Wide Web sites for global educators. The descriptive list features the American Forum for Global Education, CU-SeeMe Schools, Children's International Summer Villages (CISV International), Choices for the 21st Century Education Project, Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) Position and Recommendations for Action on Global Education, Foreign Policy Association, Global Educator's Guide to the Internet, Global SchoolNet Foundation, I*EARN (International Education and Resource Network), Intercultural E-Mail Classroom Connections (IECC), Kidlink, National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) Position on Global Education, Spice (Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education), United Nations CyberSchoolBus, and World Wise Schools (WWS).
