Technology provides World Tours.
This video speaks the praises of technology in the classroom. It highlights how important it is for students to feel connected to an interactive environment. Many students are unable to travel elsewhere, or need to study via distance education, yet students need to be able to relate with their teacher . Technology, particularly vidoe conferencing, has enabled students to achieve their academic goals and provide options for the future. It is mentioned that teachers who are proficient with the technology can apply these skills to all their claasses.
The most exciting part is that students can connect with other students from all over the world to embrace each others culture and educational perspectives. Somewhat faster and more interesting than an International Pen Pal!
