The purpose of this presentation is to teach educators tools and strategies through our own experience to merge cross-curricular planning with global connection building. By the end of the presentation, educators will have examples they can use in their own classrooms for how to take real world issues (ex. poverty, equity, access to food and water, access to education) and through examining literature, collaborating with peers internationally, and analyzing their own living habits, research solutions to the problems they are studying and employ the Tedx Talk model to give students a voice and platform to share their experience and acquired knowledge.
Participants will learn how to utilize FlipGrid Global Connections to partner with other teachers around the globe to provide students with rich learning experiences and dialogue they would otherwise not engage in with their local peers. Additionally participants will learn how to create Google Doodles that capture the immigrant experience or other social justice topics that can be entered into the Google Doodle 2022 contest.
Finally, participants will have an opportunity to view the TEDx Mustang School Expo, where students share their TEDx Mustang talks to their peers. Attendees at this expo vote on their favorite presenter. Students are recognized for achievements and provided the opportunity to travel to the local elementary and middle schools to present their TEDx Talks. These same students will be present to share their experience and present their TEDx Talk to our audience.
