Global Awareness and Digital-Age Communication
Global awareness is understanding that different events and ideas impact the world from a cultural, social, and political standpoint. Many of us find these "news" stories on the Internet. People can get up to date information immediately just by searching for it on Google. Global awareness connects itself to the digital-age communication. I feel that less and less people are communicating with others to find out information and simply talk to each other. Everyone is always on their phones, tablets, and computers either talking to others or finding out information through news websites or social media.
Since technology is all around us and used in everyday more and more by people it of course needs to be included within the classroom. I want my future students to be aware of what is happening around the world and to do that with technology is the easiest way. My students can look up current events happening around the world and research that topic. They are able to have more sources if they can use the Internet as opposed looking up article in a newspaper. Children should be aware of events happening around them. This can lead to a better understanding of how our world works and what types of events happen daily around the world.
