I do apologize for my voice during this podcast. I had a bit of a head cold as of late. I hope to be back to normal soon.

In order to go global in your classroom and develop a real world audience, you have to first understand WHY you need to go global and bring in a real world audience. I believe there are four key reasons WHY you need to connect with the world and bring down your classroom walls before you learn HOW to accomplish this goal.

  • 1. Power of One
    • 2. Idea Generated Jobs

 

    • 3. Real World Skills

 

    • 4. It is our reality

 

This podcast will address why these four reasons are so important for understanding why we need to expand our classroom boundaries to a global perspective.

I will be creating a future podcast about HOW to do this and share my experience and journey from starting very small to where I am today. There is not enough time in one podcast to do both.

Listener Questions

Brett Murrey @Sciology asked two great questions

  1. How do you increase your audience to reach more people in a global classroom?
  2. How can I develop myself as an educator to bring exposure to my teaching practices for real world or global classrooms?
