Bellman is going to Lebanon!
Bellman and I are going to Lebanon in a few days to participate in an educational conference sponsored by the Association of Evangelical Schools in Lebanon and the Consortium for Global Education. We can't wait to share about our Global Collaboration in Lebanon and hope to return to the United States with new possible partners for more Global Collaborations in the future!

Fun with Global Buddies in the US and Jordan!
After teaching elementary school for 29 years, I retired and returned to school to complete my Ph.D in Early Childhood! For my dissertation, I designed a Global Collaboration between a 2nd grade class in Columbia, South Carolina and a 3rd grade class in Amman, Jordan. It was one of the best educational experiences of my entire career! The children and teachers loved "meeting" each other and getting to know each other through lots of different activities. Now my desire is to continue to help teachers connect their children throughout the world.
