The World is Flat 3.0
http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/519/ The World is Flat 3.0 “If we don’t find a cleaner, more non-emitting way to power their dreams, we’re going to burn up, choke up, heat up and smoke up this planet so much faster than even Al Gore predicts.” Friedman scoffs at those who claim “a green revolution is going on,” calling it instead a green party, entailing no real sacrifice or pain. He says the only hope will be a “disruptive breakthrough” that brings a completely different mix of standards and taxes.” Friedman’s new mantra is, “Change your leaders, not your light bulbs.” Without new leaders to rewrite our laws and trigger the innovations, “we are cooked.” |

The TeachGlobal site
http://www.teachandlearn.net/teachglobal/ The TeachGlobal website The Teach Global courses and resources have been developed to support primary and secondary teachers wanting to extend their teaching of the global dimension through all aspects of school life. Two of the courses focus on managing this process and two look specifically at curriculum issues. The secondary course focuses on the teaching of geography. It is hoped in future to add a range of other secondary subjects. This free resource from the Open University and funded by DfID provides teachers of science with valuable CPD opportunities together with ideas and resources for pupil activities in lessons. |

Citizenship : Unit 12: Global issues, local action
http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/schemes2/ks4citizenship/cit12/ Citizenship at key stage 4 (Year 10-11) Unit 12: Global issues, local action In this unit, pupils find out about local action in response to a global issue by investigating local plans and priorities for sustainable development (Local Agenda 21). Through enquiry, they find out how local priorities are established and monitored, and how young people are consulted by the local authority. They learn how to contribute to local decisions that will influence quality of life and the environment in the future. Other global issues that could be investigated include public health and control of disease, and trading policy and agreements. 1. What is Local Agenda 21? 2. How is our community more sustainable? 3. What do we now know about local action and policies for sustainable development? |
