WorldVuze

WorldVuze is a free online platform where K-12 students can safely engage in meaningful discussions, as if they’re one big global classroom. On WorldVuze students can share their own perspectives, as well as explore and compare the multiple and diverse perspectives of other students’, locally, nationally and around the world on questions from the environment, health, culture, to media and current events – helping students to become better critical thinkers, collaborative problem solvers, and engaged global citizens.  

Classrooms can jump in and engage in one of our featured "Take Action" discussion challenges, use the platform as a discussion tool for existing global education projects, or are welcome to simply ask their own questions to the global WorldVuze community as a class.  WorldVuze was built for the safe communication of K-12 students and teachers only, see this link for more information on how we ensure online safety: http://blog.worldvuze.com/supp...

Know Your World Initiative Hot Topic Global…

The Know Your World Initiative (KYWI) Hot Topic Global Dialogues engage students in discussions on challenging and thought-provoking global issues such as: the refugee crisis, land disputes, energy and the economy, and using real-world country case studies. This helps student learn how to:

  • Examine the impact of potential “solutions” to real-world issues from multiple points of view by answering KYWI discussion questions on WorldVuze from the perspectives of multiple stakeholders
  • Think collaboratively by integrating the ideas and perspectives of other students around the world
  • Think critically by using the case study information and global student perspectives to debate as a class on what they believe would be a “preferred solution” and why
  • Reflect on their own thinking and understanding when it comes to the complex issues they are discussing; they are making a decision with limited information and there is no one “correct” or “perfect” choice
