Even our web page models the value of making a resource available for all. While engaging in dialogue with friends from around the world there are so many, many learning opportunities. Since Adri and Mahenaz are here I will use examples that involve them and their location in our round world. I wrote to Adri and mentioned that I will be in Hawaii this summer. Of course, of course.
Seasons mean very little in our world of two hemispheres.
When planning projects we need to take this into consideration. When Mahenaz first wrote and asked if my students would write to hers she also asked that only my girls write - not the boys. It is not culturally appropriate in Pakistan for my boys to write to her girls. Her students didn't write to us during Ramadan and my girls were sad. Another learning opportunity.
