  TECHNOLOGY TO PROMOTEGLOBALIZATION: FACEBOOK • Students see how other countries and cultures communicate about government, economics, climate, and education. • Using the translation tool, Facebook offers students the ability to navigate to a person’s or entity’s timeline from another nation, culture, or background and read posted material in their native language. For example, a viral video about climate change with foreign language comments can be translated to examine what people from other countries are feeling and saying.

  CONCLUSION • The 21stcentury and it’s technology has forever changed globalization. Your students will no longer have to read textbooks about parts of the world different from your own, they can see live tweets from students in these parts. You can watch the news in your classroom and expose your students to what is happening around the country and the world. Globalization is transitioning Earth from many different nations with different cultures to a society that shares ideas and interests from across the globe.
