"The greatest end of life is not knowledge, but action". Thomas Huxley
Trying to get your students involved with global issues? Are they listening?
Have them subscribe to Global Voices Online, a non-profit media project that sheds light on what bloggers are saying worldwide.
Global Voices, a social networking tool, has built a global network of bloggers who blog about what’s going on in their area. Your students will learn so much more than just reading newspapers and published magazines or journals.
Click on a specific region or “tag” to see what’s been blogged, read the Daily World Blog Roundups that focuses on regions that aren’t represented in mainstream media, or use the World Blog Aggregator to find stories about a specific region.
Be sure to subscribe to Global Voices Podcasts to listen to interviews with bloggers. These podcasts would make great conversation starters for your Global Issues and Current Events classes.
Your students now have an opportunity to learn about world issues through bloggers’ eyes on one site. It’s a great resource for your students.
