So what does your classroom look like?Does it look the same as

The Internet has opened many windows to the worldbegin by
picking one.A myriad of tools, mostly free, await you. Envision an
idea: a way to connect your curriculum and your kids to their
global counterpartsthen simply do a search. Try SKYPE, try Twitter,
find like minded people who have ideas to share. Most importantly,
ask your kids how it could be done. That takes learning to a new
level.

your media center to reach out to the world. Show your kids the
safe and responsible way to do it.
