Survey: 62% Of Teachers Say Learning About Geography Is ‘Extremely Important’ A recent National Geographic Society survey shows that a majority of educators across the U.S. value geography and, what’s more, believe it’s important to incorporate geography into an array of subjects, from math to music.

“Because of the scope and breadth of what geography encompasses, students need to see the connections between all of these to better understand the world, its cultures, its connections and its beauty.”

Our world is shrinking. How do we prepare kids to thrive in a global society? ""Privileged kids will have an opportunity to travel, but every child deserves the world," says Tavangar. "The globalization train has left the station. Our learning and mindsets need to catch up, and not just for those who can afford it."

A Video Game About Conflict Resolution Helps Develop Empathy for Refugees | KQED Lual Mayen grew up in a camp in Uganda. Now he's the award-winning CEO of a game development company in Washington, D.C., that has just released 'Salaam' — a game about refugees and peace.

Our kind of game!

"... what if, instead of a game that encourages players to take violent actions, "I could make the same thing happen, but for peace and conflict resolution?" @OfficialLual

Teaching 6-Year-Olds About Privilege and Power | KQED Privilege and power play out in the world all around us every day. And kids notice. First-grade teacher Bret Turner has decided not to avoid the difficult conversations and questions his students bring to class. Instead, he's weaving discussions of things like racism and gender inequality into everything he does.

Totally agree that you can talk with young kids about "tricky" subjects! > "Teaching 6-Year-Olds About Privilege and Power" by @bretjturner >#startyoung #maketheforeignfeelfamiliar #21stcenturyskills
