1. The global partnership programs that are offered by the GSU faculty. GSU works with the education system in South Africa by providing programs to the teachers who come to visit Georgia, so they can learn more about the American teaching culture.
2. The cultural backpack assignment is for us to gain a better insight on our personal background and culture and how they shapes us today.
3. Education is different around the world. It is fascinating to see how I am brought up and how others, like in South Africa, are brought up. For example, we integrate technologies into our learning, while South African teachers are learning about digital learning now.

The three things that are learned today, for starters, is that it’s apparent there are certain kids that are in circumstances that prevent them from receiving a high-quality education, such as in South Africa. However there are exceptional people, like Ms.Mathis, that take the time to help improve the environment of schools to better serve students in their learning. I was pleased at the fact that there are funding foundations that help raise money to support kids in getting the sort of education that every child has the right to receive.

It was very fascinating to learn about the lack of technological integration in other countries. The idea of teaching someone how to use google for research seems very odd, but it really puts into perspective the amount of resources that teachers in South Africa are working with. Also, the speaker mentioned how there are not many education or childcare opportunities in South Africa for children who are not in school. I thought daycare was a universal thing and never considered that young children and their parents do not have that internationally. Finally, I also learned that people in South Africa have less access to their government than we do here. Even though we imagine our government and policymakers to be isolated in ivory towers sometimes, it is interesting to note that many other countries have even less access than we do.

The first thing I learned today was about the cultural exchange program through the Dean’s Office in the college of Education. Although i work in the college of Education there are so many things going on it’s often hard to keep up. The second thing I learned to was how often we take for granted our use of technology inside the classroom. The final thing i learned was overall clarification on the upcoming assignments and what is expected of us as far as homework is concerned.

- I learned that the GSU Global Partnership offered a great program for students from Africa to come to the university to view the different education systems offered here versus over there.
- The program of Univeristy of Johannesburg is very interactive with the students and offer a great way for them to view different techniques teachers uses to help their students learn better. The exchange from each teacher helps to better the understanding of what they can do to incorporate a better learning system.
- I also learned that not only is the GSU Global Partnership allowing students from Africa to come here, they also started a South Africa Children’s Fondation, which I believe is a great way to help and start the little steps to making a difference for African children willing to learn.
