<p>There is a great deal of debate and discussion around this question, as there is around the whole concept of globalisation.</p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">A Global Citizen is someone who:</font></font></font></p>
<ul>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">is aware of the wider world and has a sense of their own role as a world citizen</font></font></font></p>
</li>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">respects and values diversity</font></font></font></p>
</li>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">has an understanding of how the world works</font></font></font></p>
</li>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">is outraged by social injustice</font></font></font></p>
</li>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">participates in the community at a range of levels, from the local to the global</font></font></font></p>
</li>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">is willing to act to make the world a more equitable and sustainable place</font></font></font></p>
</li>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">takes responsibility for their actions.</font></font></font></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">To be effective Global Citizens, young people need to be flexible, creative and proactive. They need to be able to solve problems, make decisions, think critically, communicate ideas effectively and work well within teams and groups. These skills and attributes are increasingly recognised as being essential to succeed in other areas of 21st century life too, including many workplaces. These skills and qualities cannot be developed without the use of active learning methods through which pupils learn by doing and by collaborating with others.</font></font></font></p>
<h2 class="western"><font color="#0285CA"><font face="Oswald, sans-serif"><font size="3">Why is global citizenship education needed?</font></font></font></h2>
<blockquote><font color="#666666"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">"Education must be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of skills to explore them" </font></font></font></blockquote>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">With the interconnected and interdependent nature of our world, the global is not ‘out there’; it is part of our everyday lives, as we are linked to others on every continent:</font></font></font></p>
<ul>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">socially and culturally through the media and telecommunications, and through travel and migration</font></font></font></p>
</li>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">economically through trade</font></font></font></p>
</li>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">environmentally through sharing one planet</font></font></font></p>
</li>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">politically through international relations and systems of regulation.</font></font></font></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">The opportunities our fast-changing ‘globalised’ world offers young people are enormous. But so too are the challenges. Young people are entitled to an education that equips them with the knowledge, skills and values they need in order to embrace the opportunities and challenges they encounter, and to create the kind of world that they want to live in. An education that supports their development as Global Citizens.</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">The active, participatory methods of Education for Global Citizenship and Sustainable Development help young people to learn how decisions made by people in other parts of the world affect our lives, just as our decisions affect the lives of others. Education for Global Citizenship and Sustainable Development also promotes pupil participation in the learning process and in decision-making for the following reasons:</font></font></font></p>
<ul>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">Everything done in school sends out messages, so we need to exemplify the values we wish to promote. If we wish to affirm beliefs about the equality of all human beings and the importance of treating everyone fairly and with respect, we need to ensure that learning processes, and relationships between pupils and teachers, reflect and reinforce these values.</font></font></font></p>
</li>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">Research shows that in more democratic schools pupils feel more in control of their learning, and the quality of teaching, learning and behaviour is better.</font></font></font></p>
</li>
<li><p><font color="#000000"><font face="Roboto, sans-serif"><font size="3">The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child affirms the right of children to have their opinions taken into account on matters that affect them.</font></font></font></p>

Our explorative interview study contributes by critically exploring how campus students perceive using social media to support their studies and the perceived benefits and limitations compared with other means. Although the vast majority of the respondents use social media frequently, a “digital dissonance” can be noted, because few of them feel that they use such media to support their studies. The interviewees mainly put forth e-mail and instant messaging, which are used among students to ask questions, coordinate group work and share files. Some of them mention using Wikipedia and YouTube for retrieving content and Facebook to initiate contact with course peers. Students regard social media as one of three key means of the educational experience, alongside face-to-face meetings and using the learning management systems, and are mainly used for brief questions and answers, and to coordinate group work. In conclusion, we argue that teaching strategy plays a key role in supporting students in moving from using social media to support coordination and information retrieval to also using such media for collaborative learning, when appropriate.</span></p> Collaborating through musictag:conversationsdotnet.ning.com,2016-01-16:3644217:Topic:252292016-01-16T15:41:51.060ZYUKTHA.Rhttp://conversationsdotnet.ning.com/profile/YUKTHAR

<p>I've just attended the conference:"Do students see technology as we do?". The reasons for selecting this conference was that, in my opinion , we adults and teachers want to make our lessons and our way of learning the unique way, most of the time forgetting that it is young people are learning. They have born in a era where technology rules in areas that we adults never thought, and so this conference has discovered some ways to make this an opportunity and not only a risk.</p>

<p>Come learn about great ways to engage students in scientific thinking, problem solving and computer modeling. You’ll see how an innovative approach using 3D animations, simulations, virtual worlds and examples of collaboration between students and scientific experts and other creative projects that combine science, technology, reading, engineering, the arts and mathematics with a multi-faceted educational experience. I have worked collaboratively to develop programs nationally and internationally that focus on developing these skills with students (and teachers) and how this can effectively prepare our students for the 21st century and beyond.</p>
