E-Learning Creates Foreign Connections
Tuesday, February 14, 2012, 2 p.m. ETTechnology tools such as the Internet, Skype, and blogs are helping students in the U.S. forge meaningful connections with classrooms in other countries, including Egypt and China. These exchanges facilitate cultural understanding across borders, teach students how to collaborate with their peers around the world, and provide an opportunity for students to gain the skills they need to succeed in a global economy. Our guests in this chat talked about the partnerships they have built with schools in other countries. They outlined some of the challenges they’ve encountered in these foreign exchanges as well as the success stories they’ve seen as a result of the partnerships.
