International Forum for University Students at http://interconescu.wordpress.com/ifus/
I have developed a a discussion place for concerns, issues, and future planning for university students worldwide. It poses the question -
IF you are like US, do you have the same questions and concerns we do?
If you are interested in participating in this international discussion, please leave a comment below.
Of if you prefer, we are exploring the use of a FaceBook group on international and cross-cultural education to encourage these global discussions. Students in my classes at Eastern Connecticut State University use FaceBook as their homepages. I am thinking that it might be a better platform for encouraging collaborations.

Please contact me if you might consider connecting our classes using Skype. We are currently Skyping with a school in Mibita, Kenya and a university in Monterrey, Mexico.
Our students document these collaborations using powerpoint presentations within electronic portfolios.
Looking forward to connections with others introduced in global connections for enhancing our university classrooms.
