TikTok, Tariffs, and Taiwan: Spark Curiosity and Classroom Conversations About China
This webinar was hosted on edWeb.net. From viral TikTok trends to headlines about tariffs, today's students are already connected to China, even if they don't realize it. Helping them make sense of these everyday experiences opens the door to powerful, real-world learning across social studies, economics, current events, history and global issues.
Join CFR Education, the educational arm of the Council on Foreign Relations, to explore how to bring conversations about U.S.-China relations into your classroom in ways that spark curiosity and critical thinking. Hear from a global expert, an award-winning social studies teacher, and an educational leader as they unpack how China's influence in technology, trade, and geopolitics is shaping your students' world, and how understanding these connections prepares them for the challenges and opportunities for their future.
In this edWebinar, participants will take away:
- FREE, ready-to-use, nonpartisan teaching and learning resources from CFR Education
- Insight into current U.S.-China dynamics and why they matter for American students
- Tips for integrating current events into your curriculum to engage students in meaningful conversation
- Classroom-tested examples of how global topics, such as U.S.-China relations, can enhance civic and critical thinking skills
Watch this edWebinar to learn how to help your students connect what they see online to the world around them and bring global affairs to life in your classroom. Viewers can earn a CE certificate. This edWebinar will be of interest to middle and high school teachers, librarians, school leaders, and district leaders.
