Abstract

This chapter highlights the value of information and communication technology (ICT) to facilitate global perspective-taking in K-12 schools. The data for this study was collected via two separate survey studies of K-12 educators, K-12 curriculum writers, and K-12 support staff. The first survey study was conducted in 2019 and had 139 respondents. A second iteration of the survey was administered to a new population in 2024 and had 140 respondents. The data collected provides pre- and post-pandemic insights into K-12 educators' use of ICT to facilitate global learning. The results indicate an increase in video conferencing and asynchronous tech tools for cross-cultural communication learning and an expansion of information technology for perspective-taking opportunities from pre- to post-pandemic. This chapter reports post-pandemic ICT strategies and practices for utilizing ICT to facilitate cross-cultural communication and enhance student global awareness.
