MOOC week 1: Linking the global to local by DERC MOOC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1 en-us 2020-09-10 10:31:53 UTC 2024-07-04 09:25:41 UTC hello@padlet.com Hello! dercmooc https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/840068544 This is your Padlet space where you can post images or insights on where you see globalisation in your local context. We look forward to hearing from you!

 Some times seemingly easier things could be very complicated.
 GCE is also like that. There are several factors like Geographical distance, economic, social disparities, gender bias , political will , administrative, religious, philosophical,  ethnic , linguistic, and deep cultural devide among the global citizen. Participation is crucial and making a policy to suit every ine is indeed most challenging.
 I have selected the picture to bring into perspective the sheer size and volume and complexity of the noble endeavour of bringing everyone in the same frame.

Can you provide any other examples of global in the local?

Does it end up in our local landfill? How far does it travel? Where and how does it travel and why?

It can create discussion about how education has changed locally in your own school and area? It can then create discussions about Education as a whole, what we can take from this pandemic and apply to our education system. Online education has developed, what can we learn from other countries? As GCE incorporates social, economic, political, economic it is certainly a topic that challenge all these ideas. ]]> 2020-10-19 12:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/840646578 Food Unites Us - Ayu Sandiningtias ayusandiningtias https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/841635148 I just ate a set of this fast food menu, and I realised that this links the global to local. The brand comes from America yet it is really popular in my country. It is even considered as one of the comfort food.]]> 2020-10-19 15:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/841635148 Food from different countries https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/843288500 Making something as simple and heart-warming as soba noodles in a hot broth represents my idea of globalisation; that we are able to cross international boundaries to enjoy something from another country. It is a positive experience, one which we can learn about as I have learnt to make this although I am not Japanese.]]> 2020-10-20 01:46:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/843288500 Multilingual classrooms politirene74 https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/843930901 I've chosen this photo due to the fact that more and more immigrants are coming not only to Greece but to other countries of the world nowadays. It is vital to embrace all children and let them have the education they deserve.]]> 2020-10-20 07:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/843930901 Isomorphism https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/844102852 I choose this phone picture because I think isomorphism is becoming an trend in many fields, which arouse a question that how to protect local feature in a globalization era. Also, I am thinking about the which is better in particular in education field, localized or globalized because people might critiques that globalization is western-country dominated.]]> 2020-10-20 08:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/844102852 TAV sofia_armadillo https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/845200680 In 2015 there was a huge debate whether to build a high-speed-railway between France and Italy. Globally speaking this was one step further into connecting different countries. Locally thinking on the other hand (the no TAV movement) was highlighting the fact that this would have ruined the natural environment, brought more sounds disturbing the peace of the Alps (both for people and ecosystems). Local vs Global]]> 2020-10-20 15:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/845200680 The nativity scene lasaletecoelho https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/846535553 I was looking around my house to find something that could express what we are talking about – the relationship between the local and the global – and my eyes were fixed on my “nativity scenes” collection. I decided it was it! It is interesting to think how a religious image was spread out, how it is interpreted and adapted in so many different places around the world. In the 1st picture we can see some examples coming from Africa, Latin America and Europe, using local materials like blackwood and ivory, rosewood, local fruits, seashells or clay. One was even inspired by the Russian matryoshkas. The one showed in detail, from Latin America, is a proof of the perfect syncretism (of global and local “spiritualities”) - it is a small box that opens: above we can see the nativity scene (a global scene in a local interpretation) and below we can see the local spirits. How beautiful!]]> 2020-10-20 20:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/846535553 https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/847766949 In 2019, the rain forests was on fire for long time. It affects the environment of the whole world . Even from the other part of the world we can notice the diffence & bad impact on our climate in South Asia. So, the local environmental issue of Brazil is affecting the global community. So the local issues are part of global issues.]]> 2020-10-21 07:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/847766949 Football is the world's game https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/848382605 Images like this of children wearing premier league teams' shirts whilst playing football in their local town, village, or city thousands of miles from England always highlights to me how far reaching sport can be. The fact that sport can bring so many people together, people who do not even know each other, is wonderful. Global stars at the top of the game can inspire people in local communities located in hundreds of countries around the world. However, viewing this image with the current climate of top level football in mind, also serves as a harsh reminder that a powerful few can decide how many or how few local communities can be touched by the world's game.]]> 2020-10-21 12:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/848382605 We are all interconnected https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/849278769 I chose this image from a course I recently did looking at Global Citizenship. It reminds me that no matter where we live we face many of the same joys as well as problems as others around the world. Some of our problems are of our own making but some are due to decisions being made on a local, national and global scale. What we do affects others! ]]> 2020-10-21 15:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/849278769 Destruction of the environment https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/849325440 forest fires reminds us that destruction of the environment, no proper planning and forest management leads to such and induces global warming all over the world.]]> 2020-10-21 16:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/849325440 Recycling https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/850293761 I believe recycling is a good example of liking the local to global, because if we start recycling in our communities we will be helping the environment all over the world. ]]> 2020-10-21 20:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/850293761 Unity in diaspora https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/850311723 I believe this is worthy of consideration within GCE.
The picture here details the unity of nationals identifying with the plight of the people in their home country while in another nation. Global education should be encompassing as to expose us to the need for being sensitive to the plight of people who are suffering and be empathic. Locally, our children can be enlightened about the need to love everyone globally and be senstitive to their feelings irrespective of their skin colour.]]> 2020-10-21 20:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/850311723 Entertainment https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/851157107 I chose this picture because entertainment is one of the bridges which connects local to global. It can be both good and bad  which affect people's mindset and cultures in many ways.

This represents the local-global link because I’m sure the coffee is imported from abroad, as the almond milk that’s added to it most likely is. The places is full of Westerns like me who have moved abroad to teach. Alongside this, I’ve seen more and more places on this little island that are making moves to be more sustainable (metal straws being just one) and this reflects an increasing awareness at the local level of the global plastic and climate change problems. ]]> 2020-10-22 05:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/851294432 Sharing the Planet alfiafifah https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/851392857 Our students link the global issue about Climate Change to address our local concern about illegal logging and deforestation.]]> 2020-10-22 06:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/851392857 Private Vs State Education alunwilliams14 https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/851733423 It is ironic that global themes will rarely be studied in underfunded government schools. In Africa there are issues with the Internet, access to media, a broad timetable offering global education as a subject, specialist teachers, links to an exam board offering the subject especially as a recognized qualification and interest from the student and parents to study this extra subject. The very thing that could change someone's life is not readily available to them.]]> 2020-10-22 08:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/851733423 Putting Local into Global https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/852095297 “…the notion of ‘de-centring’, understood as a gradual process of expanding the focus of learners from their local realities to include, connect them to, and provide them with a vision of other realities and possibilities. This concept sees the local vs. global as a continuum and is an effort to bridge the gap between the two. This approach teaches simultaneously about personal, local, national and global identities, and acknowledges multiple levels of identities. It encourages links between local and global issues, opportunities to identify commonalities across space, time and cultures, and to develop skills, knowledge and understanding to play an active role in the global community.” https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000227729/PDF/227729eng.pdf.multi

I think this message is linking local to global. ]]> 2020-10-22 14:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/852512783 People and Disease youngmichelle2 https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/852849243 I took this photo of my facemask when I was showing my students in photography class something. I bought the mask from a cooperative that helps refugees based in Rome. The fabric has been brought by one of the tailors from their home country. I think this raises two interesting concepts on the local vs global. Perhaps the most obvious is how a disease can spread globally very easily these days based (presumably) on local actions. And how people are acting locally has a continued global impact. Also it brings to mind the movement of people and how they are perceived. The general perception of the gentleman who made my mask is likely far different to how I am received though I am also originally from Africa (South Africa). ]]> 2020-10-22 15:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/852849243 melissabarbosajornal https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/853791232 I took this picture of the red sun a couple of weeks ago. I live in the south of Brazil, and as I write this a large part of our rainforest and other green areas are burning. It’s actually far from where I live – I’m not threatened by the fire itself – but the effects of this tragedy can be seen here, in this red sky, for example. And the effects unfortunately will go way beyond that scary image, as the fires will affect not only biodiversity as well as climate conditions here and elsewhere. Brazil is a huge country and our forests are important for the whole planet. ]]> 2020-10-22 18:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/853791232 https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/854926065 This image depicts how important it is for us to work together. I recently watched the Life on our Earth Documentary by David Attenborough, on my own and with my students. It is imperative that we provide students with the knowledge and understanding of issues that are affecting our world today. It is fundamental for them to develop skills that can improve the world. ]]> 2020-10-23 03:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/854926065 Every small change is a change for the better bjohnson339 https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/854935027 Since the fires we experienced in Australia this year, we as a Year 6 class investigated and delve deeper into Climate Change and how they are connected. The students felt helpless so we looked into ways that we could help. We searched different effects and causes of Climate change. We found that reducing our use of plastic, using a compost bin, using less electricity, riding/walking instead of driving were all changes that would reduce greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. They are small changes but we worked out that if we all changed and then encouraged our families and extended families we might just cause a ripple effect to a long-term and wider change within our community, state then hopefully country. Every small change is a change for the better- this statement was support by on the the previous articles as well, which is exactly what I was prompting to my class this year. ]]> 2020-10-23 03:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/854935027 GLOBAL GONE LOCAL: Very popular global beverage brands(Nescafe, Pepsi,...) are readily available in down-town local shops, restaurants and cafes located in some of the remotest regions of the world! https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/855185244 2020-10-23 07:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/855185244 Homeless in Bangkok https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/855187032 I’ve not included a photo here as it doesn’t feel right. I’ve lived here for a few years and can see the local effect on the homeless since the borders have closed. The amount of homeless people has increased so much. On the other hand at a resort recently the local expats told me how much more fish are in the sea, because of the lack of tourists...]]> 2020-10-23 07:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/855187032 Foreigners at the Forbidden City https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/855283138 This is a picture shows that there are two foreigners visiting the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Tech is cancelling truths, media is biased and some are allowed to loot, burn and steal. This is not happening in my small are of the US but in many larger areas it is a day to day occurrence. I have opened up more politically and studied who to vote for. ]]> 2020-10-23 14:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/856031029 Are our Global and Local perspectives becoming one and the same? https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857285259 Our world in 2020 is very reliant on the use of the Internet. Many of us are checking in with loved ones, the news, our education and even our shopping via the Internet because it is safer during the COVID19 pandemic.  Many worry that the Internet creates a bigger divide between the 'haves' and 'have nots' yet others believe that it may provide an avenue for the future .... hopefully where the divide is not so large.  The Internet can provide such unique opportunities to create vital links between our local and global contexts and hopefully the world of the future will be richer (experiences rather than in a money sense) for this.]]> 2020-10-23 20:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857285259 I think that one of the ways to show a link between local and global right now, in October 2020, is to post a picture from any country - Poland or Italy or Spain or the US - of people wearing face masks, schools being closed, students and teachers forced to switch to online learning. Pandemic is a GLOBAL issue that affects people in the smallest villages and towns everywhere in the world. https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857372100 2020-10-23 21:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857372100 Fast food around the world sagawarhlaing1994 https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857722389 Nowadays, fast food is very popular in the global and local because it saves the time for cooking and preparing food. Among different types of fast food, I want to mention KFC fried chicken which is a well-known brand in the world. Although the people know advantages and disadvantages of eating fast food, they prefer ready made and fast food.]]> 2020-10-24 04:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857722389 https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857811251 Travelling & Tourism have a good role to establish a link between the Global and the Local. If we take initiatives it can promote interaction with different regions. Tourism can be a good medium of exchanging cultural practices which will improve relationship among nations.To be a global citizen we need to broaden our outlooks.From travelling we can acquire this.]]> 2020-10-24 06:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857811251 Singlish++ https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857849224 This road sign for an Arts Centre in the Little India district of Singapore acknowledges the importance of the mix of cultures that now co-exist in the city state. English, in the largest font, at the top, followed by Chinese and then Malay and finally Tamil. The ordering is interesting given that the island was under the rule of a Malay Sultan when the British East India Company arrived in the early 1800s, but now has a population whose ethnicity is 75% Chinese, 13% Malay, and 9% Indian. Distinctive cultural districts such as Little India, Chinatown and Kampong Glam now attract tourists from all over the world. Thus, this Singapore can be seen to epitomise the concept of globalisation.]]> 2020-10-24 07:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857849224 I have take the picture from Gates Foundation which is carrying on 'Global Education Program' in India. As India is a diverse country to bring the concept of Global Education will sure bring a positive change in students. https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857887829 2020-10-24 09:16:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/857887829 Global Learning aytensuleymanova710 https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/858062854 Captured that picture when I was in Stay Campus London, Colindale, UK.

I choose Children.

Children are the future.. They are the very definition of what life may look like in a few years from now. And It would be so much easier and practical if from the very beginning of childhood, we make an effort in every activity to make children globally responsible.
To instill in them a sense of responsibility that every action of theirs adds to the big picture of being a Global citizen.]]> 2020-10-24 15:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/858143761 https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/858262955 These are pupils of a public primary school cleaning and burning waste/refuse in their school; I chose to use this picture because it's very impressive if we compare it to the global education. When pupils of any school around the globe were taught to keep their environment clean and tidy, and to ensure they do the same anywhere they found themselves regardless of their country.
 Environmental sanitation is a duty upon an individual, whether you're at your country or not, so when children were taught to keep any environment clean and safe; that sounds global education is also compulsory to be included in any subject.]]> 2020-10-24 17:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/858262955 https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/858271737 2020-10-24 18:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/858271737 Glocal learning https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/858483312 I chose this photo of a school partnership visit. Our Scottish school works with a Ghanaian school. Pupils chose an SDG that is important to them and campaigned for it. They then share their campaign work, and reasons why they chose it, with one another. Pupils then gain a local and global perspective of the SDGs.]]> 2020-10-24 22:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/858483312 International https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/858592264 I chose this photo of mixed race hands holding up the world. 
I believe that it represents the culture within a school, as we have many ethnicities amount our students and teachers, with them working together locally and then interacting with others globally we can hold up our world.

and I think there are many differents between local and global education in my developing country.
So,administrators,agency,teachers,parents ,students and people all over the country are need to collaboratrate " buliding a morden developed country through education'.
And Education impact on political, cultural, economic, health, and so on. These of all are interdependent. 
So,I want to try to improve our local education to global education.
In my view,global education is vital aspect of all contries all over the world.If education is developed, globalization culture, economic smd civilization will be developed.So global learnig is associated with all 
of the people and books around the world.Books are representative of technology, economic ,food,Education, communication ,transportation and so on.]]> 2020-10-25 07:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/858896108 Local and Global - That acknowledges that what we do locally impacts globally https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/859252092 I chose this photo of a bike as we do not have good sustainable transport options and our dependency on fossil fuels in the global north is creating inequality, climate change and migration. ]]> 2020-10-25 11:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/859252092 One Earth ggarvey https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/859455756 I chose this photo as I believe it represents the differences between us all as human beings and how we are all individuals. However, despite our individualities we all share a common goal that we are part of one Earth and one world. Despite your location within the world, race, age or ethnicity we all have a responsibility to protect, learn more and help to make it a better place for the future. ]]> 2020-10-25 15:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/859455756 Global Learning is a concoction of race, religion, culture and common purpose https://padlet.com/dercmooc/globalandlocal1/wish/859521269 I chose this photo because it captures all the elements mentioned in the title. Three ethnicities, seven nationalities, and five religious persuasions are represented at the the table. They are all temporary transplants to the country of Austria; bought together to participate in a TESOL training program. While there, they embrace aspects of the local culture and food. It's a stark reminder that Global Learning is a natural consequent of the evolution of society.

Pupils were shocked to discover "half of the products in our supermarket" include palm oil, the farming of which is stripping enormous sections of the world's forests. Often pupils had a secure but simple idea of how they could make local changes to respond to global issues: e.g. plastic waste is bad for the planet, so buy a reusable bottle, or choosing fairtrade products over cheaper alternatives because they knew of the inequality of profit. But in this case they realised that the issue wasn't something so simple - there wasn't a "right" decision to make in the supermarket: the whole system itself was creating the problem.

In a world that is becoming more and more globalised it is important to teach that we need to consider our actions and their implications on a global level.

It is important to highlight to the young generation that they have vital roles to play in their environment and in this world. As they grow up, they will increase their social responsibility towards their environment, community and to the whole world.

A huge problem is single-use disposable items. Though used for just a few minutes, these will still be around in hundreds if not thousands of years.
We take an action to turn the tide on plastic pollution, and ensure we leave our environment in a better state for future generations. 
With all the local and national work,  a ban on single-use plastic straws, stirrers and cotton buds has come into force in England in October 2020.

Recently, one of my 4 year old students got very upset at the suggestion that girls can like superhero toys and boys can like (Disney's) Frozen toys. It went against everything she understood about her world and how to operate within it. Not reflecting on how we shape children's local lives based on their genders has very negative effects for all genders globally. Many countries and cultures have higher numbers of female homicide victims by a male spouse/partner, and higher numbers of male suicides - both are results of (amongst other factors) individuals living up to, or feeling like they're failing to live up to, what is expected of them as a 'woman' or 'man'.

A western local view should not be imposed globally. In fact, instead of re-enforcing the myth that western ideas are in some way superior, as educators we must take a stand to examine that many of these ideas have actually caused the injustices we see today.

By implementing health protocols, the young volunteers are given the task of distributing cheap food packages.
The little volunteers carry out the task of collecting data on potential coupon recipients, distributing coupons, inviting recipients, and distributing cheap groceries in their schools.

Through these subjects we learn about global histories and learn from different cultures of the world, examine and critique national stereotypes; develop critical thinking skills and celebrate all the children's home cultures.

I hope deeply that my students feel as connected to the world as I do when I teach them.
