The Global Advocacy Project
Problem: A traditional textbook and lecture instructiondevolves instruction into narrow perspectives anduninspiring activities (Lowen, 2010).
Objective: Effective global citizens need to know about
different parts of the world, and to think about theways they are tied to other culturally andgeographically diverse populations (Merryfield, 2008).
Approach: Providing students with an opportunity to use
technology meaningfully to research, create, andpresent potential solutions to important global issues(Lee & Friedman, 2010).

Development Goals (MDG)
ii. Direct students to locate credible data sources(multiple perspectives)
- On-line database, newspapers, journals,web page

issue.2. Students were asked to defendwhy their solution would bethe best course of action.
3. Students were given the task of
creating a narrated track thataccompanied video footage tooutline their proposal (i.e.iMovie, use of photos, charts,
