If you have 20 minutes, I recommend this recent TED talk by Ethan Zuckerman called “Listening to Global Voices” – definitely worth the time to watch!

Please feel free to contact Russian speakers in your school districts to let them know about the Russian Flagship Partner Program at Portland State University–open to students in any major and offering scholarship support and a year of study in St. Petersburg: http://www.pdx.edu/russian-flagship/
Here are links to the various Title VI Centers at the University of Washington which helped fund the Global Competence Institute. They have all recently received new four-year grants from the U.S. Department of Education so they will be able to continue their important outreach work.

Please consider joining the field test for (draft) Washington State educational technology assessments. Social Studies and Arts versions are currently available, along with tutorials, support for administrators and IT staff, as well as a survey for feedback. You can find more information here.
We will be writing STEM + EdTech and some humanities/global competency type assessments this fall for field testing in the winter of 2010.
All of the assessments will be supported with a dynamic list of resources and exemplars of student work in a variety of formats. Final versions will be available no later than July 1, 2011.
Wow! Our colleagues in West Virginia are way out in front, pioneering the use of a virtual world for professional development. I just read this article in THE Journal all about their teachers-as-avatars:
http://thejournal.com/Articles/2010/08/04/Tapping-Virtuality-To-Attract-and-Train-21st-Century-Teachers.aspx?Page=1
This appears to be a closed, private area for West Virginia teachers. So, it doesn’t sound like they are interacting with teachers overseas, but that would sure be an interesting next step . . .
