A new approach to global education! Explore life from the perspective of 8 real children in 5 countries – multicultural, social and emotional learning for children 3 – 8 years!

Globe Smart:
•Global learning beyond basic facts and figures: each title’s story is a unique informational text, accompanied by more than 100 photos and narration;
•Foundation for new skills: global competency; exposure to foreign languages; the ability to understand and communicate across cultures; and an interest in and willingness to engage with someone who may seem different or “other”;
•Prejudice reduction: contact with someone who seems to be “other” leads to reduced stereotyping and prejudice, giving children a head-start on a global cooperation;
•Finding commonalities: common themes help students feel connected with children around the globe (ex: morning and evening routines, activities at home and outside the home, things done for fun, helping at home, special activities and celebration.)

In the Classroom:
•Each title is adaptable to student age and interest – keep topics simple or use it as a launch pad to explore complex international subjects;
•Social and emotional learning – discuss how children in the stories feel in different situations, what may be influencing their emotions and how students would feel in those situations;
•Compare and contrast themes and situations in the different stories with each other and with experiences of children in the class.
•Use titles as a starting place for student presentations and country research.

** Teachers with Apps: “One Globe Kids has found a unique and undiscovered niche in the educational market, and we think that they are onto something big! Children can “visit” friends from around the world and learn how different cultures operate.”

**appoLearning: “Kids will quickly be able to point out the differences between how they live and the children featured in the app. Information is doled out in a way that will keep them curious about other cultures, and they will love showing you all they’ve learned about their new ‘friend’.”

This app:
•Does NOT collect any personal information from users. Users can upload their own image, record their own voice (counting to 10 in Kirundi, for example!), and put themselves on the globe within the app, but this data stays on the device and is NEVER transmitted.
•Has NO advertisements in it.
•Does NOT include any social media links or plug-ins.
•Does NOT link to other websites.
•Does NOT include in-app purchases.
•Has a positive view of the world, regardless the race, nationality, education level, gender, or socio-economic background.
•Believes diversity is to be celebrated!
