I think it is awesome that the Internet can connect people.  I am wondering if there is a program that will allow inmates to talk to students, because some of my students need that.

I like the idea of sharing with other people in a global setting.  This can help students realize the world is bigger than their community.  I think learning about other cultures and people is very valuable for our students.

Global connections allow students to discover, first hand, different perspectives in a real manner.  Textbooks, theoretical discussions, and even videos cannot reach this level of experiencial learning.

I think this is something that the students would really enjoy.  They would be able to learn more about the world around them and learn things that they might not otherwise learn. It's important that students have these kinds of opportunities.

We live in a world that is much more interconnected then ever before because of the internet and other facets. Global connections are important in order to have opportunities to interact with others, this can break down barriers that might otherwise be there. We are all members of this earth and if we are going to solve serious problems as earthlings- we need to be able to connect with those in other parts of the world.

Global connections are an awesome field trip. It provides students with opportunities to become familiar with other countries and cultures globally. It allows students to know of other's experiences and views on how different experiences and situations are met.

I think that global connections open up the world to our students. It helps them see past them-self and see other's problems, and successes. It helps them to be less self-centered.

For students who never venture out of their own neighborhood, city or state, this is a great way to expand their "world". This can create background knowledge that students don't have, prompt creative thinking, crossing cultural and race barriers, answer questions students may have, and of course open their world to so much that they are unaware of...something might just spark their interest enough to give them a goal in life; whether short term or long term; it gives them a purpose.

Students need to see that their world is much bigger than just the school or city they live in.  They need to feel a part of something much bigger and know that they are valued for their understanding and input.

Global connections are important to help our students understand that they are a part of something bigger than their school or community. These types of connections empower our students by giving them real life applications to the their learning while inspiring them to make a difference.
