I just finished drafting the 2008 Global Kids Year End Review, with a lot of help from my colleagues. It's remarkable listing all of the cool stuff that we did over the past twelve months with our scrappy little team of geeks and educators. Some of my personal favs:
- An AIDS orphan in Ugandan exchanges text messages from her cell phone
with a dozen teenagers in Teen Second Life - High school students
conceive and produce a web-based game about local heroes during
Hurricane Katrina - Hundreds of young
people across four virtual worlds watch Kofi Annan receive a major
human rights award; - Youth in Chicago and
New York City collaborate online with paleotologists on a fossil dig in
Tanzania
Read all about it here. It's been a really fun year and I'm looking forward to more cool projects in 2009!
