Growing up on a remote island in southeast Alaska felt isolating to say the least. As a child communicating with friends and family outside of Sitka involved letters and long distance phone calls. Research was limited to the books on the island. Watching a movie involved waiting for your turn at the video rental store. When you needed a phone number the local phone book was your go to resource. Shopping involved mail order catalogs. Traveling outside of Sitka require a travel agent. The list could go on. Life in the isolated town changed the day internet came to the island. Sitka became connected. We embrace 21 century advancements in our lives. Our classrooms should embrace these innovations as well.
