My worst fear is that I will not be able to connect my students to a global audience. I hope that I will be able to create the network needed to produce the interaction with other students that would increase their desire to perform at a higher capacity.
1. I will use my students to help me overcome these fears. I will ask them to help me create a network that would include students from another country. I would ask them what suggestions would they make on how to begin creating this network and make it part of their assignment to create this network.
2. I tried to identify to the barriers outlined by Romano and did not find any that I have come in contact with personally.
3. Learning more about blogging and building effective learning communities have lead to my fear of not being able to go global with these communities and being effective in the use of them.
4. As mentioned earlier I plan on shifting the control of creating a global audience that is diverse culturally to the students and get them to mentor me in the effective way to achieve this.
