Building Communities!
In the classroom, the real power of technology lies primarily in its ability to forge connections between people -- connections that allow students and educators to explore the globe, access and exchange information, and promote mutual understanding. In this week's edition of Education World, we introduce you to teachers who have used technology to create communities in their classrooms or schools, to teach their students about their own communities, and to develop online communities. In doing so, we introduce you to tools you can use to connect your students to their world."
