Socially Engaged Contributors

      What can you do to contribute to the community? Locally, nationally, globally? These are some of the questions we ask our students as they address the fifth element of personalized learning. An aspect of being a socially engaged contributor is to reflect on other people and cultures, recognizing their differences and being respectful of a global community.
      One way we can have our students explore outside of our classrooms is through Google's Global Cultural Institute and YouTube with Yann Arthus-Bertrand's film HUMAN. For three years, the filmmaker traveled to 60 countries and interviewed over 2,000 people in their native languages. He wanted to answer the question, "What is it that makes us human?" Students can watch the film and explore the Cultural Institute's resources to engage with powerful stories about love, justice, family, and more. Invite them to reflect and answer the question #WhatMakesUsHUMAN
       HUMAN is available on YouTube and will also be available on Google Play for tablets and smartphones. Click HERE to explore through Google's Cultural Institute.
