Dear Kaia

This whole thing started from a father just wanting to get his daughter outdoors and traveled around the globe and turned into a learning experience for many people. It is amazing how far a simple blog can go. Even though he was taking his daughter outside he also incorporated technology. I think that this is one thing we need to take from all of this. We need to make our kids technologically advanced but we also need to get them outside and active. When you can do this together it is even better. I also think that this was able to take off because of the amount of social networking that there is available for us to use today. This story stretched across many different mediums from twitter, skype, and blogger. Using all of these together is a way that teacher will be able to develop their students learning outside of the classroom. I also share the concerns he had with putting his daughter on the internet. That is another teaching point for teachers is to teach their students how to safely navigate the internet and to be aware of people they encounter on the internet.
