Symposium Content Details

Paper 1: Using Artifacts, Technology, Case Studies, and Travelogues to Globalize Curriculum, Monica Ketchum (Arizona Western College)

What can a Spanish Real teach us about China? How was the Pacific settled? Where were the key trading ports for the Atlantic slave trade? Using artifacts, technology, creative projects, and case studies allows students with limited travel opportunities to explore the world virtually and connect with the global community.

Paper 2: Entwining Shakespeare: Digital Game Adaptation and the Co[de]modification of CommunityKyle DiRoberto (University of Arizona South)

This session will address teaching works of Shakespeare through online open-access game design, literature, and global popular culture with a particular focus on South Korea and the Middle East. Exploring the way digital media is translating and transforming cultures, students find in Shakespeare a model for social critique and transformation.

Paper 3: Intercultural Competence - The Rural High School/Community College ELA Classroom, Kristopher C. Otto (Hobbs High School)

Intercultural competence is an important skill for all, but more so for students who live in rural communities often shackled with low socio-economic conditions. This presentation will focus on the practice and need for intercultural competence to be incorporated into high school/college curriculum and instruction for high-risk students.
