It is to realize that even within your own region, they are people with so many different ways of thinking and to realize that putting that on an international scales exponentially increases those ways of thinking.]]> 2022-02-05 06:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jasondetilly/3st5cvi5te6aj7de/wish/2030438169 jasondetilly https://padlet.com/jasondetilly/3st5cvi5te6aj7de/wish/2030438719 While keeping the above points in mind, I think it is of the utmost importance to respect each other, each other's culture and each other's way of thinking in order to be a good global citizen.]]> 2022-02-05 06:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jasondetilly/3st5cvi5te6aj7de/wish/2030438719 jasondetilly https://padlet.com/jasondetilly/3st5cvi5te6aj7de/wish/2030438791 I think we can achieve this by introducing global problems which are common and which are different with other regions of the world. For example, showing students how global warming affects them in their region directly and how at the same time it affects people in different regions of the world in the same or in different ways. Another example would be showing how people in one region of the world deals with a lot of flooding because of an abundance of precipitations while another region has difficulty growing crops due to lack of precipitations. This shows students how different problems affect different parts of the world and helps them think about how to find solutions for them.]]> 2022-02-05 06:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jasondetilly/3st5cvi5te6aj7de/wish/2030438791 jasondetilly https://padlet.com/jasondetilly/3st5cvi5te6aj7de/wish/2030438833 I teach in Japan and one example is how the waste disposal and recycling systems differ here from other countries'. Japanese students here are of course used to their system of categorizing waste at the source, which means separating burnable waste, non-burnable waste, cardboard, plastic and other categories directly at home. While in most places in North America, we usually put all the recyclable waste in one container and it then gets separated by other people at a recycling centre. This opened the students' eyes and mine to different ways of doing things in other countries.]]> 2022-02-05 06:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jasondetilly/3st5cvi5te6aj7de/wish/2030438833 jasondetilly https://padlet.com/jasondetilly/3st5cvi5te6aj7de/wish/2030438902 Having students do activities or research about how collaboration between scientists of different countries is crucial, especially in the modern era of science. In relation specifically to biology, I think the covid vaccine development made possible by incredible international and collaborative efforts are a perfect example of this concept.]]> 2022-02-05 06:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jasondetilly/3st5cvi5te6aj7de/wish/2030438902 jasondetilly https://padlet.com/jasondetilly/3st5cvi5te6aj7de/wish/2030438962 Touching on the previous point, having students research about what scientists from different countries have accomplished throughout history and more importantly, research about how often scientists from different countries collaborate together in order to achieve or discover something. Very rarely do scientists work alone in this modern era. The advancements of the covid vaccine by international efforts were an excellent example we used in our classroom last year. This really seemed to open students' eyes on how important international-mindedness is in science. Collaboration between scientists of different cultures would not be possible without international-mindedness.]]> 2022-02-05 06:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jasondetilly/3st5cvi5te6aj7de/wish/2030438962
