Wow! Week 2 has only just begun, but I was really amazed and thrilled to get an email all the way from Argentina from a fantastically enthusiastic history teacher, asking for some pointers on teaching International relations (Hello Angie in case you're reading this!!!).  It's humbling to be asked... and it's made me think about how wonderful it would be to develop a literally - or truly - international relations unit, where we used the power of the web to connect schools around the world to share international perspectives and histories on events we study in history.  For example, I'm teaching Civil Rights to Year 12 this year - a development that has major international resonance.  Wouldn't it be great if I could link South Africa, plus northern and southern states in America - to name but a few places we cover - and somehow connect our students.  Or how about post-World War 1 relations: I could start 'small' and try and connect Britain, France and America for a simulated post-war conference, with students in role and then out of role for reflections and discussions about implications for future international relations (in a 1919 onwards sense!).  Surely this is what Skype, Twitter and the like were made for?  So, thanks Angie - you've really got me thinking.  Let's stay in touch!
