The Melibee Global Education Speakers
I was recently asked about how I put together the Melibee Global speakers roster – a very good question indeed!
The Global Ed Collaborative Conference 2011
The 2011 Global Education Conference will be held November 14 – 18, during international education week – and it is online and free. Sessions will take place in multiple time zones and multiple languages over the five days. The 2010 Global Education Conference had 15,028 unique logins and presentations from 62 countries. Isn’t that incredible!
Online Global Education Book Club: “Village Wisdom”
Melibee Global is launching its first, FREE, online book club, scheduled for November 10th at 3 pm EST. The book for this event is Carrie Wagner’s “Village Wisdom: Immersed in Uganda, Inspired by Job, Changed for Life.”
Innovative Ideas for International Education Week 2011
Here are Melibee’s top tips for an innovative International Education Week for 2011
Give With Gratitude: Senegalese Lessons for International Educators
Jerejef to Katie Kreueger. Jerejef is a Wolof word for thank you. Wolof is a Senegalese language used by an ethnic group with the same name and it describes how I felt after reading Katie’s book, “Give With Gratitude: Lessons Learned Listening to West Africa.”
The Bengali Detective – A Documentary
I’m still sorting through the myriad of wonderful films that I caught at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. The Bengali Detective, by Phil Cox, is one that I particularly enjoyed and appreciated as a creative educational tool.
Demystifying the Other: Tools for International Educators
Our session was described as follows: “Muslim”, “Israeli”, “African”, and “American” – the labels that we use to describe others come with heavy baggage and a tremendous burden.
Ibrahim Abdul-Matin: “When You’re Asked About Terrorism, Talk About Water”
Some people are put on this planet to be heard. Ibrahim Abdul-Matin is one of those people. I am left wondering, “If we could only figure out a way to channel his generous and informed energy, I think we’d be able to solve some of the world’s energy issues!”
