Introductory Module
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
From this module, I learned that global competence is essential in today’s interconnected world. It involves being aware, curious, and able to communicate effectively with diverse audiences, while considering multiple perspectives. These skills are crucial in a global economy, where businesses look for employees who can navigate international challenges and collaborate across cultures. I intend to apply this in my future work as a teacher by integrating global perspectives into my lessons. For example, when teaching about the Internet of Things (IoT), I could use real-world case studies that highlight how different countries use IoT technologies to solve global challenges, such as smart cities, environmental monitoring, or healthcare innovations.

Faculty Module #1: Importance of Global Competence for CTE Programs
I believe that this first course gave me the idea that global education is the future of our students and future workers and we must prepare them to be able to function within our society by presenting values and a global perspective rather than a local one.

In this module, it is mentioned how we use the four domains of global competence and our skills for work and school life. This helped me recognize how students prepare throughout their time to enter the workforce, and in this way, use their skills for global significance.
With this introducing module, I got even more interested in learning more about global teaching. Something that I really like, is the fact that we teach about being active and creative about issues with global impact, and the fact that students need to be ethical and prepare for every situation, keeps the need of be aware of the constant evolution of the world more present.
The introductory module was well organized and provided many helpful resources. I enjoyed exploring the rubrics and the career cluster elements to compare them to our curriculum. I was happy to see we incorporate many elements but there are different integration activities that may increase the student involvement.
The introductory module was clear and accessible, providing a comprehensive overview of the program. As a final-year English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher candidate, this information will be invaluable for securing employment and fostering meaningful connections with both students and colleagues
I found this first lesson very informative and it caught my attention from the very first second, all the information that has been given to me, will allow me to have some bullet points to share with my students about the importance in the acquisition of a second language, the wide perspective that gives us and the amount of opportunities that you will be expose to.
Encouraging students to research a specific topic, such as manufacturing standards for electronic components like resistors, can expand their knowledge of supply chain variations worldwide.
We live and work in a global economy. To prepare students for success in this environment, the course's educational series of modules and videos provide practical tools and techniques for faculty to teach students what they need to know to excel in the global economy.
The Introductory Module provided a comprehensive foundation in grasping Global Competency and its critical role in future workplaces. Observing the shift in educational paradigms towards fostering "communication, connection, and collaboration" on an international level was fascinating. By arming students with the ability to function and interact globally, we can significantly enrich their educational path and future career opportunities. As the program chair of the Simulation and Game Development program, I recognize the vital importance of global learning within our discipline. Consequently, our objective is to incorporate global learning projects into our curriculum to the greatest extent feasible.
I am looking forward to this course and I am excited about identifying key components that I can include in my Business courses. This module helped me put a focus on international employment and how to engage the students in these areas. Creating global competence in the classroom sounds great and I look forward to the experience.
I am excited to be a part of this awesome team. I view myself as a global citizen, as I enjoy exploring and learning about other cultures, reading their history, and understanding their customs.
I gained a deeper understanding of global competency in the introductory module. Global competency means having the knowledge and skills to understand and engage effectively in our diverse and interconnected world. It's about respecting and appreciating different cultures, staying informed about global issues, and being able to communicate and collaborate with people from all over the world. It also involves critical thinking, problem-solving, and ethical decision-making in a global context. In a nutshell, it's about being a responsible and effective global citizen who can navigate the challenges and opportunities of our globalized society.
I was excited to see the many different areas this program will encompass. I didn't realize it would be so comprehensive. I'm especially interested to learn more about working with industry partners and with the virtual exchange.
I am excited to learn more about global skills and be able to have connections to further student engagement outside of our own community. This module helped me to think about what I can do now to start a discussion about how global skills are important in all employment. I am looking forward to connecting this information to my marketing and photography classes. Empathy, interest in learning and engaging in other cultures, and innovation are all valuable skills for employment opportunities.
The introduction to preparing community college students for a global economy was intriguing and I can't wait to learn more. Through just the introduction I realized how much I reference global topics in class. I hope this training will help me articulate to the students the importance of global competence and the pivotal role it can play in their future.
This introductory module was exciting for me to investigate. I am challenged by this module to investigate the multitude of available resources for both instructors and students. Bringing awareness of global strategy, culture, diversity, acceptance, adaptation and constant change will invite critical and strategic thinking for students, faculty, staff, administration--whoever is involved in developing conversations and learning opportunities. Creating connections and promoting collaboration that is globally centered will help prepare students to be better "citizens of the world."
I like how global competence is defined with the skills in module #1. I do believe that it has become a requirement to prepare our students to be more globally aware so that they are better prepared for the working in a global economy, but also so that they can become more empathetic to other cultures around the world. We need to prepare our students to better understand how the interactive experiences they create are received by different cultures.
In my Interactive Design courses we teach visual communication and in order for it to be successful, students need to understand the cultural norms and expectations when it comes to visual communication in different areas around the world.
The introductory module provided a great overview of what to expect in the future modules as well as the objectives. Further, defining "global competency" is a interesting shift from the terminology of preparing for a global economy. Further, I like the emphasis on focus on having students review their own perspective vs. that of others - it is also nice tie into diversity, equity and inclusion.
