Global awareness is awareness of communities other than our own. Thanks to the internet and other technologies, it is now easier to understand other communities, cities, states and countries.
What does this mean for teachers?
Thanks to technology, teachers can now guide their students in discovering and learning about different communities. Thanks to technologies such as Google Earth and Google Maps, you can now discover places around the world as if you were actually there. We now have access to photos and videos of different cultures around the world. I also love the idea of an elementary school classroom skyping weekly with a college student who is studying abroad, or receiving weekly videos from them.
