We have had some recent comments from world neighbours near and far. Turns out some are closer than we imagined! Mrs. Partlow’s Grade 6 class is southeast of us, just across the border in Washing State. Of course our closest friends in Mrs. Braidwood’s grade 6/7 class are a 10 minute drive from our school, but our blogging friends can be anywhere in the world. We are going to be playing with Google maps and time zone clocks to get a better idea of how we connect across distances.
Does distance affect the way we connect with people, ideas, and information? How has the internet affected the way we understand each other?
