Jog the web - Waste Management and Art

This is my personal page.

To search for Souad Mounla I used google. This lead me to Facebook, IC website, AUST website, and her wiki. I could tell her what universities she attended and worked at. Facebook showed me her family members and pictures. I could tell she taught English and business communication skills at AUST and from the IC website I knew her email and her wiki address. Souad and I have two friends in common and 162 other friends. Souad is from Tripoli, but it isn't clear whether she attended the Evangelical school there as a student or if she taught at it.

Reflection: Is technology bad or good? I believe technology is great. It's helping people in many many ways. People will only label it 'bad' if it is misused.

Flat classrooms: The world is changing, so the education system and approach should. By connecting students across the world, we build bridges and allow international-mindedness. The students can collaborate with others from outside the classroom for a different perspectives and better understanding. Flat classrooms could be a step towards opening doors among nations and help solve global issues. The students will develop problem-solving skills and can develop an international identity.

Common statements: The world is changing, so should the education system and approach. No walls in the classroom; no walls between people. By connecting students across the world, we build bridges and allow international-mindedness.

Final statement: No walls in the classroom; no walls between people.

3 words: Borderless communication and collaboration
