PLN week 1.4

http://www.denverpost.com/ci_6972859?source=rssWhile reading the Denver Post blog, i came across a post called Old friendships stronger then nations anger. The article talked about how a teacher from the Peace Corps is teaching Iranian students how to speak English, and how he would like to re-unite Iran and the U.S.


This matters: This matters because it shows the world that the U.S. is more then just a physical country and can handle things in more of a peaceful way. Also it shows that the U.S. cares about the education other countries get. And if kids in countries like Iran or Iraq are getting better education, their education could help their country become a success.

This doesn't really relate to what we are doing in class. But if the kids in Iran or Iraq have better education and make their country more successful then they could make more money to be able to buy laptops and improve education even more.
