Overview of this project

1. Title: Educational Systems and Issues in the World

2. Participants: Educators from various countries

3. Language: English

4. Communication tools: a blog and email

5. Overview: Educators (teachers, people who work in schools) from different countries will write about their country’s educational systems and issues on the project blog or share these information and their own opinions by e-mail. They may talk about anything they want to or answer some questions which a project coordinator already created on the blog. They also would discuss about global educational issues and trends. For example, home schooling, the role of current public schools, students’ behaviors, bilingual education, and teacher’s social status, new technologies applied in school, etc. Participants would post their digital photos or video in education.

6. Through this project, all participants can understand and learn about their own and other countries’ different educational circumstances, and recognize and consider global issues through sharing each opinion. Also, they will get a wider view point of the world as an educator. Additionally, they will be able to learn about internet communication skills through participating in this project.
