This is the first post on our group blog to document our travels to Hokkaido Japan this coming May. There will be four education majors traveling to Sapporo to take part in our half of a student exchange program between the two universities, and creating this blog will hopefully help serve to support future trips like it.
Hopefully in the coming weeks, this blog will be a way for us four to share the benefits of the exchange with the university community, and for us to better understand what we are learning from our exposure to Japanese educational practice and culture. Besides our personal jourals and journeys, we also hope to share pictures and observations of the schools we are able to visit, and the friendships we will hopefully forge.
I'd like to thank the administration at the University of Calgary - particularly Mr. Gavin Peat - for maintaining and supporting the work of TAB (Teaching Across Borders) and exchanges such as this one.
