My reflections are the following:
1. It is interesting application of current technology
2. It is creative and well designed project
3. It enables students to have primary input
4. It is safe because the teacher retains control
5. Parents can have access, therefore it assures them of the safety
6. Borden the globalization aspects
7. Facilitates cultural exchange
8. It is friendly easy use blog
As a Chinese language teacher, this approach gives me much more insight about the blog and the knowing about iEARN project. (I just became a teacher member of iEARN). An exchange student from Taiwan will attend my class, starting next Monday. This is the first network (Convent of the Sacred Heart schools) exchange students from Asia. I intend to facilitate this idea to start a conversation or discussion among students. In effect, the visitor will be like a Teddy Bear to provide various information and cultural difference between two countries.
Glad you are part of iEARN. I would love to hear more about how you might use technology to facilitate the partnership with Taiwan.
