The idea is for young people in San Mateo and Cape Town to communicate and collaborate with the overall goal to increase global awareness and understanding. Initially I can see them just getting acquainted; exchanging names, family situation, hobbies, music, etc. I would also like them to share their opinions about important issues of the day; Dafur, global economic meltdown, global warming. Ultimately I would like them to create a collaborative project centered on their hopes and aspirations for their community, country and the world
Sounds like a pretty cool idea. Have you set the ground work in any of your classes yet?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great opportunity for all the students involved in this to learn about other cultures and to share insights! It's a really cool thing you are doing and such an engaging way for students to learn about other people around the world.
ReplyDeletewow, this sounds amazing! What a great opportunity for all involved.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great visual and activity. It was so refreshing to see a blog that doesn't relate to our class. I mean, it relates to what we've learned in class but not some commentary. It was just informational!
ReplyDeleteNice.
