Global Wisconsin Blog - Created as a companion piece to the Global Wisconsin online series, this blog is designed to facilitate a wide ranging conversation about global education in our schools, ranging from kindergarten through college. Topics such as advocacy and/or developing a strong rationale for global education, leadership, suggestions to improve global education, and curriculum will be explored with contributions from invited bloggers and in comments from the general public. Global Education Blogs - Technology as well as the ability to travel has helped many students and educators reach out to learn and to teach others how to institute a global learning environment. The following list of top fifty education blogs show the broad reach in this effort, with blogs listed in categories that range from studying abroad to e-learning technology and from international diplomacy to cultural resources. Each blog chosen has been updated recently to provide current resources and information.

This process is grounded in research and driven by those who work most closely with students. Find the Edsteps Global Competence Matrix here.
