"Imagine if our students could learn with the world and not just about it!  Imagine if our students learned with students from Syria, Pakistan, Japan, Argentina and not just about the countries through public media. With technology integration into the classroom, it can be our reality if we build students’ capacities to be engaged in global communication.

My goal is to help students move from the fearful, unsure and timid communicators of the Hello World Project to the confident, aware and reflective communicators of the Alternate Realities Project, through practice of global communication skills. Technology and organizations like iEARN, make this goal not an “alternate reality” but actual reality!"
