I believe it is the cornerstone of teaching and really needed - the world is becoming smaller and for the sake of peace, we need to get to know, "the other". So many valuable lessons there. As an EFL teacher - our subject lends itself hands on to this challenge and call. I'm really looking forward to technology even making it more and more easier to connect globally. You might be interested in my own global project - Project Peace. Teachers from around the world make videos of their classroom to spread peace through music. ... we need more teachers particpating! http://projectpeace.ning.com Cheers, David http://eflclassroom.com Kim,

I think that in many ways technology in the classroom is a very big step forward-- however becoming more involved in the rest of the world is one advantage that is usually overlooked. Many students, especially younger, only know about the rest of the world from history classes, or if something huge happens that affects America. Making American students more involved in the rest of the world is a huge perk to technology in the classrooms. I absolutely love the idea of using technology to become more globally involved.

Using technology to connect students with other students around the world is so exciting! I hope to teach in a Spanish Immersion school when I graduate college and using these tools to connect my American students with Spanish speaking students would really be awesome. I really enjoyed reading your 5 Tips for Creating a Global Classroom and First Steps Toward Becoming a 21st Century Educator. They showed me how technology can be used to expand children's outlook on the world. I will definitely reference these tools when I get started to teach. Thanks!

I am going to use part of your post for my Advanced Computer Applications class. I would love for my students to see how an effective educator can leverage technology to break down the walls of the classroom. Hey Kim,
