About
the Global Education Network
The Global Education Network consists of teachers, students,
and members of the Community at large who believe that teaching and learning
must integrate the interdependency of the social, economic, environmental, and
political aspects of our world. As citizens of the world we have responsibilites
towards our global community; a global education approach to teaching
focuses on the students' place in the world community. Globally aware students
will be more inclined to take responsible action to change their world for the
better of all. To that end, we are creating an on-line directory of resources
to be used in any curriculum area at any level.
How
To Use This Directory
A Guided
Tour of the Global Education Web site for Junior teachers (PDF).
To go directly to an agency, enter the name in the search box at the
top of any page. Or go to the category and use the keys
beside the entries to guide you in making a choice.
Students, teachers and others looking for activities and educational materials
dealing with a specific topic of importance to Global Education, can open a
section of the directory from the categories listed in the menu graphic at the
top of the page, and find a variety of organizations providing help in that
area. If, for example, you are teaching or studying the economic impact of fair
trade in grade 10, you may want to go the "Fair Trade" section of
the Development pages for more information. These are carefully selected links
that have been chosen by teachers as the best of the available links on that
topic on the internet.
Use the menu options under
the banner to:
- Suggest a Site for consideration in the directory
