Internationalization is new to me!

I intend to use what I have learned to provide more opportunities for my students.

There are multiple ways I can easily tie in at least 7 UN SDGs in my medical laboratory curriculum. While I had been focusing on one main project, I now have several ideas floating around in my head that I can use in several of my classes.

I think I've found a topic to work on - the blood donor questionnaire.  The FDA approved questionnaire really isn't culturally sensitive to immigrant donors.  I've also added an international piece to blood group systems.

The medical laboratory technician program at JCTC always has a very diverse group of students, and the current cohort is no exception. I have always encouraged students to share about their experiences in their country of origin because other students have so many misconceptions.  I also many of my international students have misconceptions about the US.  There are multiple topics we discuss that an international perspective is so helpful and why it impacts patients in the United States. I can already see where I can utilize accessing prior knowledge to improve my teaching technique in class.

Graphic Design and Communication Arts come with a mandate that knowing and understanding your audience as a designer is an important part of what we do. To me, this training directly supports that goal. I also see opportunities in working with clients that are located around the world and understanding the challenges that come from that.

Comment on Greg Sipla's post:  I agree!  I actually took some screen shots to generate more ideas for in-class exercises.

I need to choose an assignment or create one. I am thinking of doing it for the pharmacology course I teach.

I liked the slide on highlighting ideas that could connect to your instruction. In particular, I may incorporate: 1) Take a field trip to a work site engaged in international trade; 2) Connect industry knowledge to information about the world, or historical, political, economic, or geographic knowledge; 3) Evaluate the consequences of individual and team decisions, such as: immediate/long-term; local/global; and who is affected.
