The participation in Doors to Diplomacy means for us exactly big
Door to big World. We live far from America but we want to be closer.
- Project Elements
This project is very good addition to the school program especially
such subjects as History, English and Information Technology. It
leaves far for frameworks of an investigated rate of a history.
The material of a site shows real work of the ambassador in America.
The material found in the Internet, tells about biographies of presidents
and a chronicle of events. Value of work consists in own search
of a material.
- What information tools and technologies did you use to complete
your Doors to Diplomacy project?
We used such information tools and technologies during completing
our project: 2 computers IBM with Pentium4, librares, books, Internet.
Our computers are the homes computers. All information is search
ourself. We prefer Internet resourses and books.
- In what ways did your students act as "ambassadors" and
spokespersons for your Doors to Diplomacy project both on-line and
in person.
We often need to live in our life as a diplomates. Most of all
it links with our studing and relation with teachers. All teacher
are another and they have power from puples. Why find the language
with teacher that not like you? It is a question of real diplomacy.
For example, teacher of drawing not like Nikita, and teacher of
physics not like Dmitry. All tools of diplomacy are put down. Nikita
thinks that it is more difficult to speak with teacher of drawing
then with America during the "cold war". Dmitry put down
"the heavy weapon" - his mother. Which end would be -
the history show.
- What has been or will be the impact of your project on your community?
We think that our project is different so as we are different.
There is much new information in our site. We know this, because
it was new for us too. We think that people around the world will
know new things from our site. All people of our lyceum whom are
interested in Internet and WWW looked our site. It is like them.
We prefer to received e-mail. We plased the contact information
in our site.
- How did your project involve other members of your community as
helpers and volunteers?
Our main assistant - the big book of A. Dobrynin. We express to
the author huge gratitude that he has written this book. We have
found out much from his book. We used citations from his book. It
is authorized the law on copyrights. We express gratitude to authors
of electronic encyclopedia Rubricon for interesting and full biographies
of presidents of USA and a detailed chronicle of events of the soviet-American
relations. These relations deserve that many sites will be devoted
to them.
- Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises
The biggest discovery and lesson for us are the human qualities
of the diplomat, in particular, of A. Dobrynin. The diplomat is
completely special complex of business and personal qualities which
we would like to develop in ourselves. This desire has appeared
at us after reading the book and working on our project.
