One of the most important developments that came along with the creation of the World Wide Web and its successor, the Internet, was the ability to reach a global audience. In those early days that was done through email and listserves and then came first web pages / web sites and social media. Now it is easy for a parent or a teacher or a student of any age to make contact with individuals and groups of almost any variety. We are witnessing the bad side of this in so many ways, but the good side is what I am focussing on. These developments have enabled us to help one another learn about the world around us and the peoples who inhabit our planet. There is a world out there waiting for our students to find in a positive way and we can accomplish that so easily but helping them find global collaborative projects and opportunities for them to chat and interact with others like them in classrooms and schools all over the world.
