Welcome to Global Noodle.

Young children have the unique capacity to absorb the sounds and rhythms of language in a way that they will never be able to do again as they get older. Exposure to a foreign language at this age can provide a vital foundation for continued language learning later in life.

As a mother of 2 beautiful children, a 4-year old boy and a 2-year old girl, I've been challenged in finding really fun and engaging foreign language learning opportunities for my family, so I'm creating them myself with my company, Global Noodle.

This blog documents my journey in creating invaluable foreign language offerings not only for my family, but perhaps for yours as well.

I hope you'll join me on my adventure!

Truly a Small World

I have been keeping tabs on the organization, Edutopia, a non-profit foundation created by George Lucas (yes, that one) to help improve public education through innovative thinking and access to the best technology tools and knowledge resources available.

This particular article, Kids Create – and Critique On – Social Networks, was inspiring. A large part of what I’d like to do with Global Noodle is utilize technology – and social networking in particular -- to create opportunities for learning foreign languages for kids in middle school and high school that go way beyond the classroom.

Have any thoughts on this? I'd love to hear from you.
