Joy Wiggins Power Point

Attached is Joy's ppt that she shared with Joyce, Scott, Barbara, and me. We brainstormed ideas and found that we compliment each other's goals. We all are looking forward for future collaboration. Joy's goal is to connect students from Tanzania, Dallas, Texas, Taos, New Mexico, and eventually creating a global network through writing and blogs. The purpose is to foster children's awareness of other cultures and to open discussion between cultures on global peace. This my own interpretation of her presentation. I encourage everyone to take the time to read throughout the ppt and check out the links that are included. She also gives a list multicultural literature to share with children that will lead to discussions of peace and conflict resolution on slide 40.
