Abstract
Educational Technology for the Global Village: Worldwide Innovation and Best Practices maps the projects of 12 educators' use of instructional technology to enhance student and global learning. The purpose of this book is to serve as a framework that other educators can follow, adapt, and use in their own global education efforts. These educators attempted to bridge the access to technology gap between developed countries and parts of Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean by using mainstream technology such as Skype and Facebook and devices such as iPads. What emerges in this book is a set of best practices for the use of educational technology applications to increase the internationalization of education. In the process, the authors outline different types of course-based service learning projects, increased student retention of course materials, and promote increased civic duty awareness.
