Globaled has had a make over. Initially, Emma and I organized globaled for a small workshop for a dozen teachers and educators at Branksome Hall in August of 2005. Our intent was to demonstrate how internet communication technologies are transforming education. We also believed that for educators involved in global education, ICT is bringing new methods for reaching students, creating learning experiences and enabling learners to network with other learners across the globe. The global education workshop at Branksome Hall has given us a better idea how to organize our globaled blog and we will continue to re-organize globaled as our experience and understanding of ICT and global education grows.

We hope that globaled will serve as a gathering and networking point for educators, students and youth interested in global education. By reviewing & posting resources, articles, blogs and sites from the web and organizing them on globaled we and contributors from around the world can contribute to global education.

We are inviting reader/writers to recommend any global education resources, links or articles that they are familiar with on the Resource Portal page. The sub categories are broken down into the primary, junior and senior and all ages levels.

For those not familiar with blogging, using globaled may give readers/writers an immediate feel for applying a blog and possibly other internet communication technologies in your global education curriculuum.
