It continues to amaze me how much of a blessing technology can be. One of my cousins is in the Peace Corps right now in Malawi. She rarely has internet, but when she does, I get to chat with her. She's literally halfway around the world (about 12000 miles away) and I still can talk to her. People in history would have flipped their lids if they had known that such a thing was possible.
One day, I want to teach in Africa, but while I'm teaching here, how cool would it be to set up a classroom Skype account to talk to classrooms around the world? Middle school students could practice their Spanish with students in Mexico or talk about life with students in a Zambian school. The intercultural possibilities are truly staggering to contemplate. :)
