My harmonious canvas by ruchi Sahni https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva Opening the world into our hearts en-us 2017-08-21 17:15:11 UTC 2024-10-28 10:35:55 UTC hello@padlet.com What does international-mindedness mean to you? rhs14 https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181921796 It means to me he basic concept of my culture "Vasudev Kutumbhkam" which is a sanskrit word and means the world is my family. For me it is to see the length and breadth of world from my tiny eye and be amazed at the fact that the light of my vision travels across the world. I and my actions cause an effect in the world and in turn they are affected by the world.]]> 2017-08-21 17:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181921796 rhs14 https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181923062 2017-08-21 17:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181923062 rhs14 https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181923254 2017-08-21 17:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181923254 What does it means to be a "global citizen"? rhs14 https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181923396 A global citizen is one who can think beyond the microscopic view of his or her state, country, religion , caste etc. It means to be able to accept things and analyse them rationally. It is a ground where we do not judge things as right and wrong but try and understand the perspective it comes from or gives us.]]> 2017-08-21 17:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181923396 How do schools today prepare students for global citizenship within biology and other group 4 subjects? rhs14 https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181924433 Biology and other group 4 subjects are not taught today with a reference point of concept. It is taught as a history of it, that tells us the various people across the world who contributed to build that concept. It is taught as a cause an effect , where the actions of a particular nation affects the climate of others, it is taught as a tool for development of mankind, where discoveries have led to the benefit to all across all boundaries.]]> 2017-08-21 17:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181924433 rhs14 https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181926253 2017-08-21 17:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181926253 What are the ways in which the texts, topics, or ideas in your classroom have benefited from contributions from other communities, cultures, and nationalities? rhs14 https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181926509 The concept of SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT  which is buzzing in today's world as conferences, movements etc can actually be seen in all communities, cultures and nationalities. The folklore, culture , traditions and practices all revolve around building a keen sense of the environment to such an extent that we work towards protecting it.
Also in any topic of science that we study it tells us about the contribution from all across the world in terms of knowledge that acted as a base for others to develop or modify that knowledge or to utilise it as an application.]]> 2017-08-21 17:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181926509 How can you help your students understand the importance of international understanding as it relates to your course? rhs14 https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181928267 In biology the topics of health, nutrition, ecology, environment, evolution, biodiversity,climate change etc cannot be taught in isolation. The topics involve the act of moving beyond a certain place and analyse causes and effects. 
In the classroom however , only the facts can be presented but an atmosphere to analyse them rationally gives students an opportunity to put themselves in the shoes of others .it can also give them a window to reflect on the merits and demerits of various things to a particular place and the entire world so that they can apply it in their lives later.]]> 2017-08-21 17:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181928267 What activities have you carried out in your class that have knowingly or unknowingly highlighted or celebrated international-mindedness? rhs14 https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181929700 The acknowledgement to the work done across the world in health, medicine and care helps student celebrate international mindedness.
The turning of the world to ancient practices of some parts of the world like yoga from India helps celebrate international mindedness.
Genetics as a topic gave a great opportunity for this , in the human genome project, no single country could have done it. A short video that i often show students imbibes in them the fact that we are more to the world than we think......]]> 2017-08-21 17:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rhs14/apja7d3kumva/wish/181929700
