TGC 2011-2012 Travel Blogs
To Roam the Road of Lands Remote
Each TGC participant is required to maintain a "travel blog" as part of the program. The purpose of the travel blog is to provide a platform for teachers to engage their students and communities within their experiences of being in the host country. Each blog solely represents the views of the individual author and does not necessarily represent the Teachers for Global Classrooms program, IREX, the U.S. Department of State, or Mr. Burton.
Mr. Burton's blog uses the theme of unfamiliar or "remote" experiences as a backdrop to engage with other cultures, peoples, faiths, perspectives, etc. While his TGC trip to Indonesia (July 2012) is an important part of this exploration, other topics relevant to "roaming remote roads" are also addressed.
