WEB 2.0 TECHNOLOGIES FORGE THE WAY FOR GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP
Abstract :
We elucidate for instructional designers the competencies of global-citizenship and provide an activity framework that designers can use when designing instruction that prepares learners for global citizenship. The framework consists of issues of poverty, earth stewardship, spirituality, diversity, language, privacy and open access, and government. We describe Web 2.0 affordances that support activism in global-citizenship and provide an array of websites that harness Web 2.0 capabilities for participation. Activities that take advantage of Web 2.0 affordances can be integrated into instruction across the curriculum to harnesses the collective intelligence of individuals so that they can act as global citizens.
