Globalization Project -- Seeking Digital Mentors

Posted by Dan Storchan on March 5, 2010 at 3:37pm in Collaborative Projects

Hi,

We are a team of teachers at a NYC high school looking to bring some experts/digital mentors into our classroom to help us better understand the effects of globalization. The students would like to interview these experts (via Skype), students, professors, teachers and other professionals to support their research on topics such as free trade, corporate ethics, ecological impact, outsourcing, and much more.

Please contact us if you or someone you know would like to be interviewed on one of these topics. We are also open to other ideas connected to globalization.

Thanks, and we hope to hear from you.

Hello, Dan, my wife {Lidia [Misiura] Lemańczyk - Class of June 1964 JHS 189 9-30 ( http://www.lemant.user.icpnet.pl/tad/1964.html )} and I would be happy to be interviewed by Marta Valle High School students. However, we prefer reading their questions and writing our answers in Multilingual Studies at a Distance. Students and Academics of All Countries, Unite! :-) ( http://fedcba.ning.com/ ) to conferring with them via Skype ( http://www.skype.com/intl/en/ ).

Best wishes,
Tad

  Thanks so much for the offer, Tadeusz. We will be in touch as we get closer to developing the questions with the students.

sounds interesting! I'm a university administrator at a university in Vancouver, Canada. I take care of international study abroad programs and also am involved with a non-profit in microfinance for education in developing countries. Don't know my profile would fit your group but would be interested in answering your students questions if it fits.
