My youngest child, Kelsey, is 14 years old. I would have to guess that she is like most typical 14 year olds – loves watching tv, playing on the computer, listening to music on her iPod- you know the type. Well, I am sure because we have such close contact with each other after all we live in the same house, things I do and say rub off on her. In the last few months, my family has been living through the writing of my thesis proposal and preparing for the research project, as well as getting ready for a new school year.  Apparently, all of my talking about my project has rubbed off. She came to me with an idea of collecting short video clips from around the world of people saying hello in their native language and /or English. She intends to edit the videos into one video and post them on YouTube.

Enter edubloggers from around the world. If you are an educator outside of the US or you know of an educator outside of the US, how about passing on this post. Help Kelsey out with this project that she truly believes in. I am going to get the students from Colombia to do a quick video blog to say hello.

Contact me if you are interested in helping her out.
