At Manhattan's. Ps 140 students in Tony Paulino's middle school Spanish classes are exploring the
geography, economics, and culture of South America, all without leaving their classroom.
They're using the Internet to follow the one road South team of adventures on a 14-month bicycle trip
around the continent. Through a program called Reach the World, kids at 60 of the city's elementary and
middle schools are getting a taste of global citizenship by following the One Road South bikers, a family
traveling in Europe, a bike trek (艰苦跋涉) in Africa, and a Harlem teacher working with scientists in
Antarctica through online videos, journals, and field notes.
Sometimes, students even get to meet the travelers they are following online. Three of the four One
Road South bicyclists recently visited Paulino's classes present a slide show about the places they plan to
visit.
The students jumped in with questions, asking if the travelers were afraid of wild animals, running out
of food, or going for 14 months without having a girlfriend.
But Reach the World isn't just for fun. The program aims to integrate technology into the classroom,
to bring subjects like science and social studies to life, and to encourage students to think of them- selves
as global citizens, according to administrators.
Their teacher, Tony Paulino, said his students are beside them-selves with excitement about following
the One Road South bikers. "I believe it speaks to the core desire we all share, to dream, to travel and to
explore," he said.
