Kids Around the World: 2
I am here today to write about the different challenges and advantages of working with kids in different countries over the internet.
Some of the challenges that I have encountered when I was working on the my groupes wiki page was that if I disagreed with any of the other peoples ideas, I couldn’t ask him right then and there if I could use something else instead.
If, say, you want to edit a certian page on the wiki and someone else from a different country is already working on it, then you can’t really phone them up and tell them to get off or ask them how long they plan on being like you could if they lived in the same place as you.
So the biggest difficulty in doing a progect like this is the problem of communication between the different groups.
But for every challenge, it seems there is at least one advantage to be found! For one thing, the entire group has a wider range of ideas and palces to look for them and for another thing, the kids get a chance to work with people of different cultures that have different ways of doing things so that the others could learn form them.
Another one of the many advantages of doing stuff like this would be that kids would make new friends and in many ways, bring the world closer together.
