Some would ask what country am I from? We ara supposed to tell the truth, [so] we tell them India. Some thought it was Indiana, not India! Some did not know where India is. I said the country next to Pakistan. (Friedman, 2005)
Can Education Help?
Blogging, Anyone?
This winter, I'm undertaking a quadblogging project with a class of 1st graders through my technology integration coaching time with their teacher. We'll be connecting with 3 other classes in different parts of the world using Kidblog to share about our winter weather and learn about each other's cultures in the process. Each week, one class will be spotlighted and the other 3 classes will comment on their posts. I'm excited about beginning this journey of supporting a more globally-aware classroom and am currently seeking classes to connect with through Twitter and Google+. I can't wait to see the heights that student will reach as they are challenged through this project to improve both their communication skills and their understanding of other cultures.
