The Second Annual KIDLINK Meeting was held in Rio de
Janeiro, Brasil from August 12-16, 1996. KIDLINK people from 13 nations were
present and among those was our friend Isamu Shimazaki, the Japanese teacher
whose students have been writing to Delmar Title 1 students.
Isamu came to Rio and met me for the first time face-to-face on Sunday afternoon. The meeting was a joyous event for both of us. It was exciting to finally meet each other after many months of on-line projects we had done with our classes. During Isamu's presentation at the KIDLINK Meeting and the V Encontro da Educacao com a Informatica he spoke highly of our joint projects.
Isamu brought us photos of his teachers and students, t-shirts with images
from our WWW pages and also three books from the "Frog and Toad" series in
Japanese. His students signed their names in each of the books. I came to
Rio with baseball t-shirts for Isamu's students donated by Gardner Sign, Inc.
in Salisbury. We plan to continue our projects again this school year
in the WWFax '96 project.
