TakingITGlobal.org has been a great tool for my students in Canada to expand their perspective on important issues. Understanding the Issues has made complex topics accessible to these middle school students. Discussion Forums, and the opinion survey functions they support, have allowed them to conduct primary research. By integrating these different types information they have been able to not only increase their understanding about the world, but they have also learned how to use the tools that can empower them to be effective global citizens.
As media becomes more digital, everyone needs to learn how to get the most out of what they read, watch and listen to. TIGed's new Digital Media Literacy Primer is a great way for teachers to bring important information into their classrooms.
