GLOBAL LEARNING AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

Global learning is concerned with intercultural and international aspects of education as well as specific content areas. Technological advances support students from different countries, backgrounds, and cultures to study and learn together, and enhance their pedagogical and life experiences. Global learning is critical for educators as well as students in order to embrace world cultures and events and develop as citizens of the world. This paper provides a background into global learning. The generic goals of global learning and the technology that can implement, facilitate, and sometimes impede them are discussed.
