Hometown:: Tirana, Albania

School / Work Affiliation: Princip School

About Me:: I teach International Relations at a private school in Albania supported by the EU. I am quite interested in introducing modern web technology to schools, especially those in former communist countries, which have tended to lag behind. I also care a lot about Green energy, climate change, and issues of social justice.

At 3:36am on April 9, 2008, Ian Grove-Stephensen said…: Hi Bob, didn't intend to drop this thread. Relative to incomes, computers cost 5x more in Ukraine than they do here, so home computers are still rare. Everyone has a phone of course, but I don't think anyone there has quite worked out how best to use them for education.

At 10:21pm on December 12, 2007, Deloris Eure-Nutt said…: Hello from Portsmouth, VA,
I am excited about sharing the website: World Mind Network. It is an awesome site. Thanks!

At 6:56am on November 8, 2007, Connie Weber said…: The World Mind Network is an amazing site. What a concept: webcams all over the world. I'll spend some time there, looking around, showing the kids, making discoveries, observing.
Regarding what's going on in my class--sure, I'll willing to share in a variety of ways. Right now, however, you might change your mind if you saw it--we're going through some evolutionary stage that can only be called mayhem! Creative chaos! I'm thinking we'll settle back down in a week or so, but who knows? (It's hard to balance the introduction of whole new things with the need to keep things "calm" and focused!) What a transition this is...

At 11:50am on October 26, 2007, Ian Grove-Stephensen said…: Hi Bob, thanks for the invite and congratulations on getting anything at all going in Albania. I would love to start some elearning initiatives in Ukraine, where our team is based, but the problem is there are just no computers in the schools.

At 5:52pm on October 21, 2007, Dianna Trang said…: Hi, Bob, thanks for the invite. I would be curious to know if my school is on par with Albania in terms of using technology in the classroom. I have had to beg and plead just to allow blogging. Anyway, I teach AP English Composition and Language in Grapevine, Texas. Hope you are well.
