Abstract: The purpose of this roundtable is to engage in small-group discussion on the trials and triumphs of using social networking to collaboratively reflect and publically engage learners in international travel experiences, cultural awareness, and interdisciplinary content. The presenters are faculty in a college of education who used blogging as a reflective tool and form of communication before, during, and after professional international travel to China and Ireland. These trips occurred between and during academic semesters, respectively, affording the educators with different levels of participation among graduate and undergraduate students.
