Global Kids Professional Development: Learn how to engage youth on global issues using virtual worlds, games and machinima

Posted on July 29, 2009 by

Boston MassIMpact training - Day 2

You might not know, but my organization Global Kids not only does some of the most innovative virtual world, serious gaming, and digital filmmaking youth programs out there, but we also help other educators adopt our methods for their kids.

Global Kids offers a range of professional services and professional development including standards-based training for teachers, administrators, parents, counselors, and youth workers. Training sessions equip educators with strategies for building student interest in the curriculum by drawing parallels between academic content and critical global issues, current events, and personal concerns in students' lives and communities.  For those particularly interested in our technology-programs, we offer the following trainings:

Online Games-Based Education:
•    Games-Based Education 101
•    Playing 4 Keeps Capacity Building Program


Digital Media and Online Expression:

•   Digital Expressions Program
•   Bringing Virtual Worlds into the Classroom
•   Digital Media Capacity Program

We can also create customized trainings, tailored to meet your region and school-specific needs and provide practitioners with hands-on, practical training to help them work more effectively with youth. Download our Professional Services and Professional Development Brochures for more details or contact us at 212-226-0130 x 112 or at pdtrainings@globalkids.org.
