**Brainstorm Document #1:**
** Global Issues Educator Resource Website Brainstorm ** 1. Resource Base · Contains resources for teachers (and students?) on topics related to global issues · Each of Rischard’s 20 issues has a section, plus sections for other issues that are relevant or of interest to students · Includes stuff like websites, lesson plans (it would be great if everyone shared), video links, texts available, power points, podcasts etc 2. Action Framework · A frame work for action such as an action model or inquiry cycle · Planning documents to help assist students take action on issues (this would also make it easier for teachers to facilitate this) 3. Celebration of Success · A section of the site for students to share projects they have been working on (and hopefully share how they did so others can benefit from that knowledge) · Allows students to network more effectively __ Resource Base: __ 1. Committee decide on content and approach 2. Committee use collaborative software to pool ideas for resource collection 3.

Downloadable action model and planners etc placed on website __Celebration of Success__ 1. Added to website as they happen (maybe need a wiki or NING type link so these can be uploaded) 2.
