<u><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Day 1 Reflection (Tuesday, July 28, 2015)</span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today, I met teachers from all over the world and learned how their school is moving towards a more global curriculum. I was fascinated by the diversity in approach to promote global understanding. One of my favorites was the link between culture and sustainability, because it encouraged not just knowledge of other countries, but global leadership to make the world a better place.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Guest speaker Robert Landau, newly appointed executive director of the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools, and his vision towards making a quality education accessible to all students. He shared his experiences working abroad. His mission statement from his former school in China to "connect, inspire, challenge, and make a difference" beautifully summarized our ultimate goals in global education.</span><br />

Founded in 1964, the Nene Award Ceremony is like the “children’s choice awards” for favorite book in Hawai’i. And, each year, almost 6,000 students in grades four to six vote for their favorite fiction book. </div>

Best use of technology is connecting students to the community! Third grade students learned about writing and publishing as well as played activities to encourage their creativity in storytelling! This aligned with their curriculum author studies. Students plan on publishing and selling their own books next month.</span><br />
