You are invited to join our 2-day summer workshop to learn about the essentials of dialogue and how to empower your middle and high school students to communicate with international peers about global issues through videoconferencing and blogging. We will introduce you to Generation Global and global competence (California International Studies Project) so you can engage your students in meaningful lessons about significant topics while developing literacy skills. This program is sponsored by the International Studies Teacher Education Project (ISTEP) at San Diego State University in partnership with the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.
