    • Abstract:
      "Digital Play for Global Citizens" is an introduction to how educators and parents can use a multitude of innovative technology tools to help their students and children learn about, understand, and engage with our increasingly interconnected world. Educating students to become "macro-minded" (habits of mind that are associated with a world-wide outlook) global citizens empowers them to embody the essential tenets of global competence--the ability to investigate the world, recognize perspectives, communicate ideas, and take action--in a manner that is fun, engaging, and synchronized with our fast-paced, technologically advanced 21st century. Divided into three parts, "Digital Play for Global Citizens" introduces tools to help students build awareness of themselves and the world around them, recognize and investigate the complex and systemic causes of events across cultures and history, and use digital play to explore the natural world. From exploring boundaries, borders, and geography in context to developing empathy and understanding of diversity; from investigating the systemic causes of economic injustice to developing a sense of curiosity and wonder about nature; this document introduces tools and techniques for using digital play to develop all aspects of global competence.
