Hi Lucy and everyone,

I want to suggest some corrections in terminology of Global Education and Global Thinking to avoid possible missunderstandings.

As Global Education for many people means just international education with any content, I suggest that we rename an education for developing Global Awareness and Global Citizenship for Global Sustainability Education, so people won't get confused mixing up those terms.

Also, my term for Global Thinking is not just undestanding that everything is connected in the world. It means Global Systems Thinking because it focuses on impacts of patterns of systems to the whole planet. It it is a functional knowledge which helps to solve Global Problems.www.GlobalThinkingWorld.net

I have attached a link to the new Curriculum guide developed by the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture and Lifeways, culture center for the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan that looks at the history of the American Indian Boarding Schools, and the effects of ethnic and cultural cleansing.  Educators and students around the world can learn about the trauma endured by students and their families, plus the effects of historical trauma upon individuals, our families, and communities.  Educating the world of this tragic saga of U.S. history is the first step to healing.  Next, we encourage students and educators to become, “Agents of Change”.  We can all make a positive difference in the world.

I would love to see an extension of the concept of global projects into a solid curriculum. I worked in an online school and that was a part of our curriculum until the leadership changed. We did an incredible projects in Acidic Oceanification, Refugees, and European Union projects ...I think it can be done as a part of a global curriculum. If we made it PBL (project based learning) and game-based learning that would be an outstanding way to create an interesting curriculum.

I love the attention this concept is getting. I can only hope some of this "good thinking" can find meaningful, sustainable traction with learners. Congrats to everyone for their effort and passion!

I agree, Carrie!  I worked in isolation for over 33 years, trying so hard to plant seeds of global ed.  That's why this conference feels like I've died and gone to Heaven!  I will toon into your Keynote presentation.

It has been so uplifting to learn about the work and efforts of other global educators. I work in isolation - I give presentations and talks - sometimes to an audience of 5, sometimes more. I keep plugging on, planting seeds for global citizenship. It sometimes feels like everyone is so self-consumed that they can't take the time to see the bigger picture. Thanks to all of you who are doing your part to make the world a better place. Join me today at 1 pm EST for my Keynote presentation. I would love to meet you. Here's my work and my passion. www.carriewagner.com
