Well, it turns out that my Education travels might take me all the way to Torreón, Mexico for my first year out of school. The thought of moving so far from home scares the heck out of me, but then I think about the power of the internet and how I will have everything I need right at my fingertips.
For example:
- I can keep track of my friends via Facebook.com
- I can keep track of my favourite music via Myspace.com
- I can share pictures of my new classroom with Flickr.com
- I can Skype or blog with peers who have classrooms close to home; perhaps even creating penpals between our students.
- I can stay up-to-date on Saskatchewan related news via the online Leader Post
- I can stay up-to-date with favourite TV shows via You-tube and Torrents
- I can let me family and friends know what is happening in my classroom via this blog!
- I can webcam and chat with my friends on various instant messaging services.
..and I'm sure there is a lot more. Now, this may seem superficial, me worrying about these small comforts when I'll be in such an exciting place, however; it's nice to know that I will always be connected to home!
Adios! ;)
