I love that you have video pen pals and the students are blogging! This is such an interesting way to incorporate technology and other curriculum like language and social studies. I think it is great that they are getting a chance to see people from another country. You can learn about other places in books and on maps, but nothing explains it quite as well as meeting a person from there. These students will learn so much from this and keep it with them for a very long time. I just checked out your blog and I must say, this is such a great idea!
