- About Me/Reason for Joining the GEC:
- My book, The New Global Student: Skip the SAT, Save Thousands on Tuition, and Get a Truly International Education (Random House) will be published in May 2009. It's based on my family's experience--in 2005, my husband and I sold everything and left our US suburban lifestyle behind. The tricky part? We had four teenage daughters at the time!
The book describes the lessons we learned and loopholes we discovered while shepherding our girls through high school, into college, and beyond. But it's not just a personal story~ the book is packed with insider insights, expert tips, and astonishing success stories from students. I invite you to learn more at www.NewGlobalStudent.com

Blessings,

a) thanks for the kind words!
b) I am really interested in your book- it comes out in May? I literally had a 2 hour conversation with my best friend yesterday about our cultural ADHD and students and how we skim articles and quit too early at difficult tasks and don't allow ourselves to gain a deeper appreciation for things, i.e., "acquired tastes" are being replaced by instant gratification, etc.
Total coincidence that I came across you and your book, but I'd really enjoy a dialogue with you (mostly you explaining your thoughts, me listening and nodding vigorously).
c) I am always looking for collaborations to do in conjunction with our language teacher. He is Latino and a native Spanish speaker. I realize that schedules are always tight and it is hard to coordinate, but I figured most of the Spanish-speaking countries are at least in the same time zones! Anyway, I don't know if you work at a school or have a connection at one of your kids' schools, but I'd love love love to connect one of our classes to a Spanish speaking class. Even for a small project.
I have plenty of ideas, believe me.
Let me know if any of the words I just spilled all over your page raise your eyebrows at all.
Thanks!
Thanks for the welcome. I am new at trying technology in the classroom. I created my first classroom blog in April and really enjoyed the process. We tried some voicethread projects and my class loved them. I am excited about all the web tools available and hope to be part of some telecollaborative projects next year.
