History of <strong>www</strong>.<strong>Globalization101.org</strong><br />
The website was developed in 2000 by academics<br />
and practitioners at the Center for Strategic<br />
and International Studies. The site moved to<br />
the Carnegie Endowment for International<br />
Peace in 2006 and then joined The Levin<br />
Institute, a freestanding institute within the<br />
State University of New York (SUNY) system.<br />
G101 and Levin<br />
The Levin Institute acquired G101 in the Fall of 2007 to<br />
provide an on line platform for Levin's programs. Levin<br />
intends to use the site as a teaching/learning resource<br />
for students and executives and will further develop<br />
the content with the addition of videos, interviews, and<br />
interactive capabilities.<br />
Opportunities for Faculty<br />
The Levin Institute is inviting faculty to serve as guest<br />
bloggers and commentators on G101. These blogs provide<br />
a vehicle for professors to discuss their research and<br />
ideas about global issues with students, other academics,<br />
business and non-profit leaders, and government officials<br />
from around the world.<br />
Levin is also inviting faculty to engage in focus group<br />
discussions on ways to improve the site, add new content,<br />
and to integrate the site into related course curricula.

Endorsements from the field<br />
I teach a course to graduate students (mostly<br />
teachers) on Global Education and will surely<br />
make use of the very, very comprehensive web<br />
site! It’s one of the best I’ve come across...<br />
— Elaine Haglund, Professor<br />
California State University<br />
Using your website gives my students real life<br />
effect activities in globalization and pulls them<br />
into world problem solving in a way that would<br />
have taken me all semester to do on my own.<br />
Thank you for allowing us the use of your<br />
research…<br />
— Heidi Marie Connor<br />
Adjunct Faculty-English Composition I and II<br />
Colorado Technical University<br />
I really enjoyed teaching the course [“Global<br />
Civilization”] and your material was extremely<br />
helpful... I will be teaching the course again and<br />
plan to omit the textbook, relying more on the use<br />
of online materials through your Website and<br />
through the news media… According to the students,<br />
this survey on globalization provided them with a<br />
general understanding of global issues to the point<br />
where many want to delve deeper.<br />
— Marina Cunningham, Executive Director<br />
Global Education Center<br />
Montclair State University<br />
I used the site for research. The site made it<br />
easy to find and use short briefs and clear,<br />
student-friendly vocabulary. I will definitely use<br />
this site again.<br />

Franklin High School, Oregon<br />
