The following notes came from the session on "Globalizing the Classroom" a presentation by Sharon Fodness and Ranae Hanson from Minneapolis Community and Technical College.
4 Criteria were established
*Global-Local Connections
*Multiple Perspectives
*Bio-centric Awareness
*Ethical Dimensions of Decision-Making
Guest Speakers live via video conferences
ASK Ranae what technology source they use for video conferences
Reflection time:
*I made great connections at this session with colleagues (Asmaa Elghandour from North Hennepin who is Egyptian and Jon Wendt who leds student and faculty travel programs to Cambodia/Laos/Vietnam).
*Collaboration ideas with Kate Mooney from St Cloud State about bringing international students together, sharing guest speakers/guest faculty.
*Ideas like a common book club: common "case study" or a "common movie" (pop culture might be more engaging).
*Showing int'l students and faculty
*Collaborate with multi-cultural programs which might have funds
*Best Practices Session for how to globalize classroom/campus/comunity
Still need to connect with Jonathon Stuart about "Cultural Competency" certificate
