[MORE MATERIAL COMING SOON]
ACT II (First day of the conference)
Thinking tools
During Act II, between keynote presentations, Jennifer Garvey Berger guided participants into a series of discussions based around these thinking tools.
(Read blogpostings about the thinking tools)
At the end of Act II, Jennifer Garvey Berger distributed this sheet of quizzical quandaries to conference participants. Each person selected the one(s) they were most interested in focussing on with their learning groups during Act III.

ACT III (Second day of the conference)
The play
You can experience the play that was performed on the morning of Act III by watching this video or reading the script.
Learning group harvests
Each learning group of 6-8 people met in the morning and afternoon to talk through their learning experiences at the Shifting Thinking conference, and to ponder the quandaries their group had chosen to discuss. A few groups collated some of their thinking at the end of the day on paper - here are some examples.
Yep, I also got thinking from Fiona’s session, thanks so much! I’ll be hitting the website soon!
Thanks Fiona! PS, looking at the post-conference feedback, your name keeps appearing – your sessions gained you some major fans! After sitting in on one of your workshops, I can see why.
Hi all
It was great meeting many of you at the conference. Challenging but enlightening. I personally was blown away with the support for the work we are doing here at Global Focus so I just thought I would put some links up to our mags and resources that we have available.
http://www.globalfocus.org.nz
Follow the links through the Global Education
Global Bits (Daniel’s Story/Eating the Media Lunch/Living Beyond 1984) can be found under community. They are written for young people and community educators but can be adapted for class use
Global Issues can be found under resources for schools. These mags can build into curriculum content and have teacher pages with activities and curriculum links
We also have Small World (for Primary) and a number of resources as well as a free library which has videos and dvds. We can also provide teacher pd in social inquiry and global education.
Sorry I can’t put up powerpoint due to copyright on images in activities; but in March next year we will be publishing our Global Perspectives magazine on Global Education pedagogy in the classroom – free feel to email me for a copy.
