Time Difference: Because we were asked to connect with
professional international time zone was an issue. The various hours affected the ability to
communicate properly.
Importance: It is in my opinion that those who we
communicated with on an international level responded at their own leisure.
They did not take the nature of the relationship seriously. Because they are
professors I assume they handled business first and the questionnaire often
came last of their long “to do” list.
Question: It was often difficult to reword the
questions we were told to ask. I think instead of questions we should have been
given discussion topics and let the communicator share freely what he or she
chose to share. Also, at times the communicator was not knowledgeable about the
questions therefore they could not answer it effectively.
My Goal: I would love to work with Teaching Aboard. The
international relationship allows me to make an educated decision on exactly
where I would like to teach. Also it showed that the United States aren’t as
advance as many Americans would like to believe.
You did not contact me again after the second week of class and this should have been a demonstration of your initiative in learning about other educators.
