As en educator, it is not acceptable to rest on one's laurels. One must go out and seek new knowledge. After all, that is what we expect of our own students. It would be hypocritical to not believe in this ourselves.

The answer is yes. I have selected a few of the activities one can engage in to become more effective in "globalizing" one's classroom.
