   Global awareness and digital-age communication

   
   

   
   

   In the past month, I have Facebook-messaged an old friend in India, emailed a relative in China, and Skyped an old traveling buddy in London. All from the convenience of my own home, on my own computer. The digital-age of communication is upon us, and is increasing more rapidly than ever. 

   
   
   
   

   As a teacher, it is important for me to open my students' eyes to the possibilities of global communication in this digital world. Communication across countries, across continents is crucial for building a more peaceful world in the future.
