Giving real thought to what consequences your actions have on other people globally. ]]> 2018-05-15 12:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/havardms/xb6hnthgy8ju/wish/260818847 What does it mean to be a global citizen havardms https://padlet.com/havardms/xb6hnthgy8ju/wish/260819875 One could easily argue that every person living on this globe is a global citizen, but to be a bit more specific I would say that to be a global citizen you should be a part of the global discussion. If you are a international-minded person that is taking part in the global discussion you should use what you learn there to help you in choosing your action. If you do that and try to act in a way that has positive influence/consequence on people around you, locally and globally, I would say that you are on truly becoming a global citizen.]]> 2018-05-15 12:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/havardms/xb6hnthgy8ju/wish/260819875 How do school today prepare students for global citizenship within biology and other group 4 subjects havardms https://padlet.com/havardms/xb6hnthgy8ju/wish/260822674 I look at the group 4 subjects as already having a global language. By that i mean that science is universal for all people in all countries. At the school I worked we took our students to CERN. There we could show them both what was happening in the LHC, but also all the different people from different countries working together on this enormous project. This showed them a true global effort to reach a goal, which again showed them how dependent scientist are of other scientists around the world.]]> 2018-05-15 12:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/havardms/xb6hnthgy8ju/wish/260822674 What are the ways in which the texts, topics, or ideas in your classroom have benefited from contributions from other communities, cultures, and nationalities? havardms https://padlet.com/havardms/xb6hnthgy8ju/wish/260822981 As stated earlier. Science is a global area with a global language. There are several people/communities that my topics has benefited from. Examples are Darwin (english), algebra (arabs), genetics (austria) and so on. The list goes on forever. Science wouldn't have been where it is today if it wasn't for the global effort.]]> 2018-05-15 12:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/havardms/xb6hnthgy8ju/wish/260822981 How can you help your students understand the importance of international understanding as it relates to your course? havardms https://padlet.com/havardms/xb6hnthgy8ju/wish/260823196 By making them aware of the global effort it took for us to get to this point. 
I can to that by lecturing about it, showing them where to find information on the subject, start discussions, take them on field trips to show them etc.]]> 2018-05-15 12:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/havardms/xb6hnthgy8ju/wish/260823196 What activities have you carried out in your class that have knowingly or unknowingly highlighted or celebrated international-mindedness? havardms https://padlet.com/havardms/xb6hnthgy8ju/wish/260823300 Earlier when I taught social science I started a project where my students should compare themselves and their life to a person in another country of their choice.
I have also taught science from a historic perspective, where I have focused on how the scientific revolution has moved from country to country, and how one development in one country has affected another.]]> 2018-05-15 12:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/havardms/xb6hnthgy8ju/wish/260823300
