Without a class this semester I find myself looking for topics for this blog. But then yesterday something came to me that I would like to share. As we all know the Globaloria program is an incredible opportunity for our students and a remarkable chance for us as educators to be on the cutting edge of 21st century educational development. So, you and your students know how great Globaloria is. All of us involved in the program know. But who else does? Certainly administrators and others that receive the quarterly newsletter and Dr. Capperton's news releases. But what about the parents of your students, or the local community?
What I am getting at is that each of us should be sharing our programs within our communities. How, you ask? Why not contact your local newspaper and let them know about your programs, or write your own news release, add some images, and submit it yourself to the paper. Are there any radio or television programs that highlight community events? Contact the stations, ask around and find where you can get some air time. Volunteer to give a presentation to a local civic group like Rotary or Lions Club.
Let the big, wide world outside of your classroom know that you exist. Share those amazing stories about your students and the program. Go forth and publicize!
