Preparing Community College Students for a Global Economy

Public

Discussion:

I've modified one Web Mapping course learning outcome as well as my course description to include a global perspective. One of the modules will ask students to interview an international student on our campus, and then share it out using web mapping. The focus will be six-fold:
1) Background information about the country - where are they from, etc. map based.
2) How to meet a person for the first time from their country. formal/infomal
3) Holiday/special customs
4) How they've adjusted to life in the U.S.A.
5) Favorite restaurants/places that help them connect with their country - map based
6) Recommendations for how to connect with someone in the U.S.A. and from the country of interest.
