Name of Artifact: Global Education Perspective Presentation

Date: November 10th 2016 December 6th 2016

Course: EDUC 101: Introduction to teaching

Rationale:
To document my understanding of InTASC Standard #2 Learning Differences, we
have selected to include the Gobal Education Perspective Presentation. Along
with what we learned, we were provided tools and advice to help us gain
knowledge on how to research our country and get correct sources. With the
knowledge gained, we were able to evaluate out views on education and the field
outside of the country and learn more about the future knowledge we will
provide children and the careers we are hoping to take in the future. Also review
how different other countries are compared to the U.S
