Connecting learners in a global world: why is this important for you?

Focus Question: does connecting with students around the world using computers mean an end to social meetings.

Introduction:

In the 21st century we have created something called cyberspace. As we know in the past years our parents never had the use of modern technology. If we use technology to find jobs we will never have social meetings instead we will communicate online without meeting in person.

I chose to explore this focus question out of the other to see why we should communicate online when we can just meet with each other to discuss about meeting.

If we cant meet each other in person how will we ever learn of new ideas from people around the globe.

I think that if we meet each other using cyberspace then we will never have the time to meet each other.

Findings:

As i continued with my research i have read ryan's article regarding the poor having no water. this relates to my focus question because if were not to meet each other we wouldn't be like Ryan. if we can't have social dialogues we will never help the earth and its inhabitants.

Conclusions:

http://www.ssat-inet.net/ is the site that helped me a lot.

It is important for us to realize that we all stay together in one world. In this century we may have the technology to help us but the true help comes from people around the world. This planet is meant for every human being to cherish. We must unite as one in social dialouges and help the poor and feel how they feel.

these were other sites that gave me a general idea about technology and social dialogue.
