Relating this experience to young children, I think it would be a great way for children in the ELC to come into contact with children in other daycares across Canada, and maybe later even in other places around the world. For really young children, it is hard for them to imagine what or how things are when they are not in view. With the use of the AccessGrid, children can view other children in various parts of Canada and see either how similar they are or even how different they are. Some modifications would have to be made, however, especially if it is the AccessGrid that is available at Ryerson. It would be most advantageous if the children have eye-to-eye contact with each other rather than having to lift their heads up and strain their necks. I can imagine that if the children interact with each other a few times and form some type of relationship, they can share some artwork with each other or some songs/plays for one another to learn to appreciate other people/cultures.
