I've been thinking about reworking IEB&N for some time now. I want to change the look and feel of IEB&N as well as rethink what should be posted on, linked from and fed to the site. I want IEB&N to serve as a new media clearinghouse for the field of international education that requires little work on my end as I have much on my plate. The idea of a self-updating site is quite appealing.
Do you have any ideas? I would love to hear from you!

Currently I am engaging in these blogs as part of an assignment in completion of my dissertation. I was initially weary as I have never engaged in social networking before, but over the past month, I have really enjoyed this experience and I will share with you what I have found most interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe travels of foreign educators in remote locations and their living conditions, interactions with the indigenous populations, and their learning experiences, I have found interesting and unique. I like the pictures, seeing these educators in action, because it makes them real, as opposed to some fictional character. In reviewing this material, I have had the opportunity to vicariously live through them, if only for a brief moment as they do what others wished they had but due to circumstances beyond their control, or simply do to being frightened of the unknown variables did not take action.
I hope this brief insight helps you in creating a terrific interntional educational blog. Best of luck!
