“This online course did a great job creating
community among classmates through the discussion threads. Also the facilitator
was always available in discussion and via email.”
Due to high demand for our Essential Topics for Global Understanding online course this fall, we will be offering an additional running of the course this Feb/March.
4-Week Online Course:
Essential Topics for Global Understanding: Health, Environment and Economics
February 27 – March 27, 2013
Earn 22.5 PDPs or 1 graduate credit
Fee: $175 (plus optional $100 fee for 1 graduate credit)
Today's students live in an increasingly globalized and interconnected world. To successfully learn, collaborate, and lead in the future, they need to understand and wrestle with topics of global significance. This course will provide educators with an introduction to trans-regional issues that affect the lives and experiences of people living around the world.
Participants in this course will learn about globalization, the environment, and international health as well as the organizations and people who work together to find fair and sustainable solutions to today's most pressing challenges. Using online resources and readings, scholar videos, and interactive discussion forums, participants will work together to expand their thinking about global issues and to explore ways to integrate the study of global topics into their teaching.
Course highlights include "Featured Teacher" ideas for K-12 classroom application, Web 2.0 tool explorations, and weekly "Web Highlight" resources for classroom use.
While this course is offered completely online and requires a basic comfort level and interest in the use of computer technology as a medium for learning, no previous online coursework is required. Open to all K-12 educators.
