Naturally, my trip to Peru is vacation. It it time to see my in-laws, see some sights, and eat some amazing food.
The learning doesn’t stop there, does it?
I am planning to visit a few schools in the area, to include the FDR American school where my collaborative partners are. I am also going to visit some schools in a not-so-affluent neck of the woods, where some relatives attend. I am dying to hear what they say about the state of education these days.
Any suggestions as to what questions I should ask?
What would you ask a student in a third world country? Would you tell him that they need to integrate more technology?
I’ll keep you posted…
WOW Chris, what a fabulous opportunity. What would I ask kids in a 3rd world country..hmmm I would love to know what their perceptions were of the US–as I would like to hear what US kids think of them–I’d like to know what things are issues for them as kids. Would I tell them they need to integrate more technology? The one thing that technology would offer is the ability to connect, collaborate, and communicate. Remember, I am looking for Latin American partners…If you can find a HS class to work with me, I’d love to hear their perceptions of our Latin America Project and look toward collaboration. Feel free to skype / email me if you connect with anyone interested
THANKS!!!! and it was great reconnecting at NECC
What do those students view as the most crucial skills they need to master in preparation for the 21st century? How do those students think we northerners (just don’t call us Yankees!) should be helping them to achieve their goals?
