Abstract: We hear that our students should have global competencies to compete with others in different countries. The dramatic evolution of ICT has expedited the global interconnectedness of societies and the cross-cultural interactions among people. However, how rapidly and timely has our school been adjusted to help our students prepared for such a global and dynamic society? Would it be too complicating for schools to be upgraded in general? This presentation demonstrates how easily ordinary school activities could be transformed to globally connected intercultural teaching and learning activities. Seven schools in NY, MA and Korea have joined Intercultural Virtual Exchange of Classroom Activities (IVECA) in 2012. The global curriculum was integrated seamlessly into the subject curricular, and students studied in global collaboration at school. The outcomes revealed how IVECA helps the students grow as interculturally competent global citizens, motivated to learn, expand global perspectives and display creativity in solving problem in global collaboration.
