I was quite intrigued by quadblogging which we learned about in class. The thought that my future classroom could be connected with another classroom on a different continent (let alone three other classrooms) opens the door for startling developments in cultural development.
For example, if I end up teaching in an area of low cultural diversity, the opportunity for interaction with different cultures may be something children only experience through television otherwise. Quadblogging would allow them to interact with other cultures without leaving their classroom, and they could further learn how to interact with others from different cultures.
As the program expands, it could link us to further, more distant cultures (most of them now are from the US, UK, New Zealand, and Australia) and students will grow further.
I was also intrigued with quadblogging. I love how you can expose different cultures and ways of life to students, especially at a young age. There is a hold world out there and I feel at times we can be content with only knowing our own.
