I spent three days in August at the Washington International School
training their faculty in Web 2.O technologies and I was impressed with
the headmaster's commitment to technology integration as well and the
diverse, multicultural makeup of the faculty. If you are looking for a
school with a commitment to global citizenship then they are worth a
visit.
Alan November speaks highly of the school and greatly influenced the
design of their intriguing new library.
