Global Awareness Project and Lesson Plan


 * Description:**

For this assignment, the class was instructed to brainstorm on ways to implement meaningful lessons for students that targeted global awareness. The lessons were to include age appropriate content along with a technology based platform. The lessons required student engagement and collaboration along with a pre, post, and self-assessment. The resources that were used for this project was a computer, iearn.com, LCD projector, and the Delaware State Technology Education Standards.

 * Process:**

The process for this assignment was to work with a partner and come up with a lesson to enhance global awareness between students to work on a collaborative project. I was missing from class the night of this assignment and completed the process on my own. I used a website [|www.iearn.org] as my basis for connecting my students with students from around the globe. The project I envisioned for them to complete was to see how students in different parts of the world (Specifically Asia, and Europe) to see how the Automobile industry was the same or different as that in the United States. Their Goal was to see if the Automobile industry was used in the same manner as what they are used to seeing. Does someone have to take their car to a dealership type repair shop for repairs or does it go to a local mechanic to service. In the United States, almost every person of age has a vehicle. Is this the same in other parts of the world or is mass transportation better served to get from place to place. This project allows for students to see differences in how people use the Automobile industry in other parts of the globe.


 * Reflection:**

This assignment made me look at things a little differently as to how and what I was asking of my students. I had never really thought about what other people in other parts of the world did as far as auto repair. I have been to a lot of different countries and just never gave it a thought. In Korea, a lot of people drive, but there are more people that use mass transit than drive but they are one of the largest auto producing countries in the world. Their primary export of cars comes to the United States. It will be a good experience for my students to capture some of this information especially if they are looking into working on import automobiles. This assignment will also allow some students to interact with students of countries that they may have never dreamed of or heard of and see how their culture is different to that of what they may be accustomed.
