My WDW class is a "go"; anyone willing to help me out?

[DavidandLeahZ]

Can't unfortunately participate in the face to face meet But if you are keen on having your students interact with posters from other countries I would be in

Last spring I actually had Pete/Alex set up a chat for my students so they could interact with virtual fans. I'll be doing the same on the 20th of November (most likely).

I won't be around in march, but I would love to talk to your students (being a fellow university student from the UK, it would be nice to have a chat!)

I also studied Disney for one week on my 'America inside out' course for my American Studies elective. I still have all the reading lists if you want any ideas for resources. I also have an essay on 'To what extent is Disney culturally imperialist', which was an interesting angle.

Hope your course goes well! Keep us updated!

We are planning to be there in March and I would be happy to participate. Just let me know what to do....

We can be there in March also just let us know the details.

This is AWESOME. I wish this was offered at my school!!!

 

[TXYankee]

What a great class!

I do not think I will be in WDW in March unless sone one would like to sponsor my trip. I would make a great chaperone!

I am willing to help wherever I can. I will be in WDW for DAP in December. If you PM or post a school address, I would love to send a postcard from WDW wishing your students success in their studies. I am sure a few other DIS members would be willing to do the same for you and your students!

I would love to participate in the chat, but I don't believe I would be able to swing the live meet portion in March.

 

[disneydreamgirl]

This is my kind of school! I love what you're doing and would be willing to chat as well. As for the face-to-face, that'll be tough to swing!

Hi everyone,

It looks like the meet date has been narrowed down to two finalists:

The evening of Saturday, March 13th

or

The evening of Sunday, March 14th

Any preference?

I'd be happy to participate in a chat, like Reid, as someone from another country. Sadly, I won't be there in March (I'll be there in June for a conference.
By the way, what department are you in? Communications? Sociology? Business?
It sounds like a very interesting course!

 

[chaoscent]

Sounds like a great course. Unfortunately I won't be down in March, but I am available on line for chats. Best of luck with it. Penny

Communication.

 

[exwdwcm]

Sounds awesome! I'd love to help too, unfortunately can't be down there in March though. Your students are in for a treat! I can share the secrets of the CM two finger point to communicate - or how I nonverbally communicated with all the non english speaking brazilian tour groups when they came into my cafeteria at Hollywood Studios. LOL

We would also assist in any chats with your class, if we are not too late. I noticed this thread was started on November 4th. And our family will be in WDW beginning April 4th (DW's spring break) so unable to assist.

She also uses Disney for her class, but a 2nd grade class uses a whole different Disney subject., and she is trying to get less "communication" between the students
