1. Provide opportunities for students to explore other countries - this can be from a variety of perspectives - cultural; language; natural wonders etc.
2. Opportunities for volunteering worldwide.  For students in a school in a country other than their own, a chance to volunteer in their host country..
3. Watching relevant documentaries and then engaging in class discussions]]> 2016-07-02 03:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_brathwaite/gweoheois2ju/wish/115832587 stephanie_brathwaite https://padlet.com/stephanie_brathwaite/gweoheois2ju/wish/115832718 1.

This provide fodder for great discussions on topics of interest such as Vector-borne diseases like Dengue and Zika and also how Climate change is affecting different parts of the globe.]]> 2016-07-02 03:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_brathwaite/gweoheois2ju/wish/115832844 stephanie_brathwaite https://padlet.com/stephanie_brathwaite/gweoheois2ju/wish/115832903 I try to suggest to my students that having knowledge in Biology makes them better global citizens as they are in a better position to make sound choices when it comes to a healthy lifestyle and others areas. Areas of concern include our carbon footprint; the effects of micro-plastics on the marine environment and the irresponsible introduction of alien species to an environment. The use of Stem cells and the information gained from The Human Genome Project are also areas of importance.]]> 2016-07-02 03:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_brathwaite/gweoheois2ju/wish/115832903
